The Soil Health Card (SHC) scheme was launched on 19th February 2015 at Suratgarh, Rajasthan, marking the beginning of a nationally coordinated effort to improve soil health and address soil degradation. The scheme helps farmers by providing soil health information and recommendations for nutrient application. It is part of a broader initiative that includes soil testing and educational programs, contributing significantly to agricultural sustainability and improved crop yields across India. Rajasthan was the place where this important scheme was first introduced.
