Soil Health Card 1.2.0.6

The Soil Health Card (SHC) initiative represents a significant effort by the Government of India, facilitated by the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare. This scheme is being operationalized through the agricultural departments across various State and Union Territory governments.

This application serves as a vital tool for Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLEs) and Soil Testing Laboratories (STLs). It caters to a diverse user base by supporting multiple languages, including English, Hindi, and several regional dialects. To engage with the app for soil sample collection and testing, users must register under the SHC scheme as either a VLE or STL. Detailed information regarding registrations can be found on the official website: soilhaalth.dac.gov.in.

• Integration with third-party soil test service providers
• Entry of soil test results by designated government laboratories
