This website covers the Maharashtra Women Farmers Empowerment Act, 2026 and the Woman Farmer Certificate (Mahila Shetkari Praman Patra). It explains who may be recognised, how the Act’s process works, and what the certificate does and does not do.
How the content is prepared
Each page is based on the text of the Act as published in the Maharashtra Government Gazette, and on official Agriculture Department material. Section references are given where a point comes from the Act. Points that depend on rules, or on online procedures, are marked as such.
What this website does not do
This website does not process applications, issue certificates, track application status or collect identity documents. The official process runs through the Designated Officer, the Gram Sabha or Nagar Panchayat, and the official government portal.
