🌱 Soil Health Card Scheme | Improving Farmers’ Productivity & Soil Fertility 🌱

The Soil Health Card Scheme (SHC) was launched by the Government of India in 2015 to promote soil testing and provide farmers with detailed information about the health of their soil. The scheme aims to help farmers use fertilizers in a balanced way, improve crop yield, and maintain long-term soil fertility.

✅ Key Features of Soil Health Card Scheme:

Farmers receive a soil health card every 2 years

The card provides details on soil nutrients and deficiencies

Recommends crop-wise fertilizer dosage for better productivity

Promotes judicious use of fertilizers and reduces input cost

Ensures long-term sustainable agriculture and soil conservation

🚜 Why is the Soil Health Card Important?
Excessive and imbalanced use of fertilizers reduces soil fertility and increases costs for farmers. The Soil Health Card empowers farmers with scientific knowledge about their land, ensuring better productivity, lower costs, and improved income. It also protects the environment by reducing overuse of chemicals.
