Benazir Hari Card scheme: Sindh farmers can now register online

KARACHI: The government of Sindh has launched an online registration system for the Benazir Hari Card; this will allow farmers in the region to obtain financial support via this scheme.

To facilitate this new online registration process, the agriculture department has developed a mobile application and website portal. The online registration site was inaugurated by Sindh Minister for Agriculture Sardar Muhammad Baksh Mahar during an agriculture show in Mirpur Mathelo, where he also launched a new agriculture research institute.

Farmers can now register for the Benazir Hari Card through the submission of documents on the designated website  (www.benazirharicard.gos.pk), eliminating the need to physically visit government offices.

This endeavor is aimed at supporting over 1.5 million farmers in Sindh. A beneficiary of this program may receive benefits such as subsidies on seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and modern agricultural equipment.

Other benefits include crop insurance, interest-free loans, and financial compensation in the aftermath of agricultural disasters.

The program aims to empower small farmers in Sindh by giving them critical input to ensure farming growth and sustainability.

Meanwhile, the provincial minister announced that inculcating an Agricultural University in the Ghotki district, which will then be able to lure a student workforce from other provinces, is on the cards.

The Benazir Hari Card program is a breakthrough that will transform small farmers’ lives towards a state of financial equity and agricultural growth.
