Agro-ecological zoning
Revised Agro-Ecological Region map of the country (Published in 1992) in terms of aerial

used, whereas in the revised edition of AER map, soil resource database and maps of 1:1 m
scale (NBSS&LUP, 2002) is used.
The area under Bio-climate type (A component of AER map) namely hyper arid and sub-
humid moist revised from 9.9 to 6.6 mha; and from 72.4 to 13.2 mha respectively. The area
under semi-arid moist and sub-humid dry revised from 78.9 to 98.6 mha; and 42.8 to 78.9
mha respectively. The area under humid and per-humid is revised from 32.9 and 52.6 mha to
16.5 and 39.5 mha, respectively. The semi-arid (dry) areas have been revised from 26.3 mha
to 49.4 mha.
The area under LGP class of (Another component of AER map) <60 days is revised from

Jharkhand, Assam, Sikkim and Nagaland.
Dedicated Geo-portal on soils “Bhoomi”- A Land resource information system
Developed Bhoomi Geo-portal with structured database on soil and site characteristics in
terms of polygon, line and point; administrative division of the country and with the open
structure to link cadastral boundary for the future. The portal has structured soil maps of
1:1M, 1:250000, 1:50000 and 1:10000 scale;
The portal has various thematic maps on natural resources depicting type, spatial distribution
and severity of degradation and desertification; degradation in crop land, prime agriculture
land, soil nutrient status map depicting area of sufficiency, deficiency and toxicity of
nutrients in the country; area vulnerability to drought and floods.
The portal depicts potential area for crops, cropping pattern and horticultural crops in the
country.
The Portal has framework for hosting Agro-ecological regions and sub-region maps and has
various applications like collecting geo-referenced samples (android based smart mobile
Mrida-sangrahak), apps for assessing soil and water conservation needs, water harvesting
potentiality and finally for developing land use plan (Automated Land Potential Evaluation
System-ALPES);
The portal has also the provision of connecting with Kisan call centers, Geo-portals on soil
health cards, Pradhanmantri Sichai Yojana and Fasal bima yojana.
