The Soil Health Card Scheme is an agricultural initiative that provides farmers with crop-wise nutrient advisories based on periodic soil testing to optimize fertilizer use and restore soil fertility.
UPSC evaluates this scheme at the intersection of agricultural economics, input subsidy reform, and ecological sustainability. Questions typically focus on implementation bottlenecks, such as rural soil testing infrastructure gaps and low adoption rates of card advisories among smallholders. Candidates are expected to suggest administrative and policy measures to integrate soil health monitoring with broader climate-resilient agricultural strategies.
