Soil Health CardThe Soil Health Card scheme was an innovative

initiative by the Union Government is an attempt to educate Indian farmers about their soil. Under the scheme, farmers have received health cards that contain a plethora of information about the soil of their land. The card gives information pertaining to the types of crops they can grow, crops that would be more favorable than others and corrective measures that can be taken to improve yields. It provides all these information in the form of a report. In order to make this report, under the scheme, a sample of the soil is collected and reviewed in professional

news FROM CentRetesting conditions. Once the review is done, the farmer receives the card along with information about the health of the soil; its functional characteristics; content of water; and various nutrients and additional properties of the soil. This establishes a uniform norm to test soil samples and provide results. With the added Soil Health Portal, farmers also get information about their soil, such as the fertilizers they should use, etc. The government has covered more than 34 lakh farmers and the number is on a steady rise. Set into motion with an initial allocation of Rs. 27 crore, another Rs.100 crore has been added to the scheme.

It is being implemented as a ‘special additional central assistance’ scheme to incentivise states to draw up comprehensive plans taking into account agro-climatic conditions and natural resources for ensuring more inclusive and integrated development of agriculture and allied sectors.
