Soil Health Card scheme
A Soil Health Card is used to assess the current status of
soil health and, when used over time, to determine changes in soil health that
are affected by land management. A Soil Health Card displays soil health
indicators and associated descriptive terms. The indicators are typically based
on farmers' practical experience and knowledge of local natural resources. The
card lists soil health indicators that can be assessed without the aid of
technical or laboratory equipment.
Soil Health Card (SHC) is a Government of India's scheme
promoted by the Department of Agriculture & Co-operation under the Ministry
of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare. It is being implemented through the
Department of Agriculture of all the State and Union Territory Governments.
Soil Health Card Scheme is a very beneficial scheme for
farmers. There are many farmers in India. And they do not know which types of
crops they should grow to get maximum yield. Basically, they do not know the
quality and the type of their soil. They might know by experience what crops
grow and what crops fail. But they don't know what they can do to improve the
condition of the soil.
The government is planning to cover as many as all farmers
under the scheme.
The scheme will cover all the parts of the country.
In the form of soil card, the farmers will get a report. And
this report will contain all the details about the soil of their particular
farm.
A farm will get the soil card once in every 3 years.
