MISSION SOIL HEALTH CARD  The State Government is gearing up to implement the Mission Soil Health Card from the current year, which happens to be the INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF SOIL HEALTH.  Necessary arrangements are being made to collect 4.5 Lakh Soil samples at 10 ha grid interval from 45 Lakh Ha of Net Cropped Area.  These soil samples would be utilized for determining MACRO & MICRO NUTRIENTS as one time collection of soil samples would be utilized for both the parameters.  Detailed sampling shall be organized in irrigated area during the subsequent two years period of the Mission.  Steps are taken to ensure that all the Lakh farmers are provided with Soil Health card in the scheduled period. 18

LAND RESOURCE INVENTORY 1:10,000 SCALE  The State has soil maps at 1:2,50,000 scale, showing details at Division Level. (Prepared by NBSS & LUP)  The next generation maps at 1:50,000 scale will be available by the end of the current year which will provide Mandal Land information. (Being prepared by NRSC & State Remote Sensing Centre)  The State has entered into a MOU with NBSS & LUP for soil mapping at 1:10,000 scale to provide soil information up to Village and Survey Number Levels.  During the first six months Pilot Project will be executed in three Mandals of the state for setting the methodology and contents of soil mapping.  In the next four years the entire state will be covered.  Besides the fertility status (Macro & Micro Nutrients) the soil maps at 1:10,000 scale will be provide information on 18 Soil and Land characteristics enable to suggest the best suited crop in each holding with alternate options in priority.  Besides the suggested crop, the soil data will also be useful for necessary Land Development Measure. 19
