Progress Report of Soil Health Cards

• Low analyzing capacity of the labs.• Service area of the labs are large.• Proper and sufficient no of soil samples are not

received by the labs.• Soil health cards are not issued timely.

Group -1 Management of Soil HealthWeaknesses

• Strengthening of STL providing auto analyzers and other equipments.

• Running labs in PPP mode in all the districts (25 lab buildings are ready).

• Collection of soil samples through GPS for preparation of village level Soil health Maps.

• Development of Software for speedy online issue of soil health card.


SuggestionsFollowing suggestions are being made to be implemented under soil

health card mission programme
