20. 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 Health Weaknesses

21. 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.
