It also outlines several measures taken by the government and Reserve Bank of India to provide credit, insurance, income support and welfare schemes to support farmers and address farm distress.
Knowledge and Attitude of Farmers Regarding Soil Testing in Chittorgarh (Raja...Premier Publishers
The study was conducted in Chittorgarh district in ten adopted villages of KVK, Chittorgarh, Rajasthan and 10 farmers randomly selected from each village that have availed soil-testing technique. The study reveals that majority of respondents had poor knowledge and maximum knowledge gap was observed in proper technique of sampling for fruit plants and normal crops. The study also shows positive attitude because most of adopters (76 %) did not agree with the statement that "soil testing is wastage" of time and money & It was also observed that majority of farmers agreed (72 %) with the statement "soil testing is necessary for better crop production". The efforts should be made by KVK and department of agriculture to encourage the farmers in adoption of soil testing practices by organising soil testing training programmes and campaigns especially on soil testing process.
This document discusses a proposed system called the Farmer's Analytical Assistant, which aims to help farmers in India maximize crop yields through predictive analysis and recommendations. It analyzes agricultural data on factors like soil properties, rainfall, and past crop performance using machine learning techniques to predict optimal crops for different regions based on the environmental conditions. The proposed system would allow farmers to input local data, receive personalized yield predictions and crop suggestions, and get advice from experts online. The methodology section describes how climate/rainfall and soil data is collected and analyzed using machine learning models to provide crop recommendations. The goal is to improve upon traditional crop selection methods and help increase farmers' incomes.
Summer Internship Report- 2019 (Bestech Seeds India Pvt. Ltd.)HemantMeena50
“A study of Promotion strategies adopted by Bestech Seed India Pvt. Ltd. regarding demand generation of Bajra at Sawai Madhopur, Bharatpur, Sikar districts of Rajasthan.”
The document analyzes the adoption of farming technologies by vegetable farmers in Chapainawabganj, Bangladesh. It finds that most farmers are middle-aged with primary or secondary education. The majority have small landholdings, low annual incomes, and little access to credit or training. Regression analysis shows that education level, farm size, and innovativeness positively influence farmers' adoption of new technologies, while problems faced negatively affect adoption. The study aims to help extension workers promote appropriate technologies to overcome constraints faced by vegetable farmers.
This document provides a summary of a student's project on the flow of vegetables from farmers to consumers. It includes a title page, certificate from the college confirming completion of the project, a declaration by the student, acknowledgements, an index of topics to be covered, and an introduction to horticulture as the first chapter. It discusses the research methodology, including objectives to analyze price flexibility and seasonality. It also covers the scope, literature review, data collection methods and limitations. The document appears to be providing an overview of the various aspects of the vegetable supply chain in India, including lists of vegetables and their sources, market studies, transportation, storage, and management.
Strategies for Doubling the Farmers Income Through Temperate Fruit Crops Tawseef Baba
The document discusses strategies for doubling farmers' incomes in India through the cultivation of temperate fruit crops. It outlines Prime Minister Modi's goal of doubling farmers' incomes by 2022. Currently, over 20% of rural households earn less than the poverty line, and farming is uneconomical for many with small landholdings. The document then proposes several strategies to achieve this goal for temperate fruits, including enhancing crop productivity through improved varieties; efficient resource management with protected cultivation and precision farming; enhancing fruit quality; developing climate-resilient technologies; integrated pest management; minimizing post-harvest losses; and conducting marketing and economics research.

The document provides information about the Agri-Clinics and Agri-Business Centres (ACABC) scheme in India. The objectives are to support agriculture development and create self-employment opportunities for agricultural graduates. Under the scheme, entrepreneurs called "Agripreneurs" are trained and provided loans, subsidies and support to establish agri-business ventures. Over 34,000 candidates have been trained under the scheme, establishing over 13,000 ventures, though the success rate remains low. There is a need for better coordination between training institutions and banks to improve loan disbursement and the overall success of the scheme.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

6. Introduction
India is the land of farmers where the maximum proportion of rural population depends on
agriculture. Soil Health Card Scheme is a scheme launched by the Government of India on
19 February 2015.
Background:
Soil testing programme started in India in the year 1955-56 with the setting up of 16 Soil
Testing Laboratories (STLs) under "Determination of Soil Fertility and Fertilizer Use"
programme.
Quite a few states, including Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Haryana have been
successfully distributing such cards. Tamil Nadu has started issuing soil health cards from the
year 2006 onwards.
According to a Press release dated 18 August 2014, up to March 2012, over 48 crore soil health
cards have been issued to farmers. However, no uniform norms were followed in the country
for soil analysis and distribution of such information before the issue of Soil Health Cards.
Through SHC Scheme, Centre plans to make this a pan India effort. Earlier Government of
India has never provided any assistance to the State Governments to undertake collection of
soil samples and their analysis.
Slogon- “Swasth Dharaa. Khet Haraa." - Healthy Earth. Green Farm.
What is a Soil Health Card?
SHC is a printed report that a farmer will be handed over for each of his holdings. It will contain
the status of his soil with respect to 12 parameters, namely N,P,K (Macro-nutrients); S
7. (Secondary- nutrient); Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Bo (Micro - nutrients); and pH, EC, OC (Physical
parameters). Based on this, the SHC will also indicate fertilizer recommendations and soil
amendment required for the farm.
Soil Health Card (SHC) is a Government of India's scheme promoted by the Department of
Agriculture & Co-operation under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare. It is being
implemented through the Department of Agriculture of all the State and Union Territory
Governments.
Soil Health Card Scheme is a very beneficial scheme for farmers. There are many farmers in
India. And they do not know which types of crops they should grow to get maximum yield.
Basically, they do not know the quality and the type of their soil. They might know by
experience what crops grow and what crops fail. But they don't know what they can do to
improve the condition of the soil.
Objective of the Scheme:
Soil Health Card (SHC) aims at supporting sustainable production in agriculture sector by way
of:-
a) To issue soil health card once in every three years to farmers, so as to address nutrient
deficiency in soil and deciding type of fertilizer.
b) To strengthening functioning of soil testing laboratory through capacity building and
involvement of students.
c) To diagnose soil fertility related constraints.
Benefits of the Scheme:
a) The scheme will monitor the soil of the farmers well and will give them a formatted report.
So, they can decide well which crops they should cultivate and which ones they should skip.
8. b) The authorities will monitor the soil on a regular basis. One in every 3 years, they will
provide a report to farmers. So, farmers need not worry if the nature of the soil changes due to
certain factors. Also, they will always have updated data about their soil.
c) The work of the government does not stop at listing down measures required to improve the
quality of the soil. In fact, they will also employ experts to help farmers in carrying out the
corrective measures.
d) Farmers will get a proper soil health record, thanks to the Soil Health Card Scheme. Also,
they can study the soil management practices. Accordingly, they can plan the future of their
crops and land.
e) Generally, in government schemes, the person carrying out the study for a particular farmer
gets changed. But in the Soil Health Card Scheme, the government is paying attention that the
same person carries out soil analysis for a farmer. This will further enhance the effectiveness
of the scheme.
f) The soil card will give the farmers a proper idea of which nutrients their soil is lacking. And
hence, which crops they should invest in. they will also tell which fertilizers they need. So,
ultimately, the crop yield will see a rise.
h) The main aim behind the scheme was to find out the type of particular soil. And then provide
ways in which we can improve it. Even if a soil has some limitations, we can do something to
get the most out of it. And that is what the government is trying to do with the help of this
scheme.
Technicalities Involve In Soil Sampling :-
Norms of Soil Sampling?
Soil samples will be drawn in a grid of 2.5 ha in irrigated area and 10 ha in rain- fed area with
the help of GPS tools and revenue maps.
9. Who will draw the soil sample?
The State Government will collect samples through the staff of their Department of Agriculture
or through the staff of an outsourced agency. The State Government may also involve the
students of local Agriculture / Science Colleges.
What is the ideal time for soil sampling?
Soil Samples are taken generally two times in a year, after harvesting of Rabi and Kharif Crop
respectively or when there is no standing crop in the field.
How will soil samples be collected from a farmer's field?
Soil Samples will be collected by a trained person from a depth of 15-20 cm by cutting the soil
in a "V" shape. It will be collected from four corners and the center of the field and mixed
thoroughly and a part of this picked up as a sample. Areas with shade will be avoided. The
sample chosen will be bagged and coded. It will then be transferred to soil test laboratory for
analysis.
Who and Where will the soil sample be tested?
The soil sample will be tested as per the approved standards for all the agreed 12 parameters in
the following way:
At the STLs owned by the Department of Agriculture and by their own staff.
At the STLs owned by the Department of Agriculture but by the staff of the outsourced agency.
10. At the STLs owned by the outsourced agency and by their staff.
At ICAR Institutions including KVKs and SAUs.
At the laboratories of the Science Colleges/Universities by the students under supervision of a
Professor/ Scientist.
What is the payment per sample?
A sum of Rs. 190 per soil sample is provided to State Governments. This covers the cost of
collection of soil sample, its test, generation and distribution of soil health card to the farmer.
Operational Aspect :-
A web based system has been put in place in July 2015 to generate Soil Health Cards
automatically based on either Soil Test-Crop Response (STCR) formulae developed by
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) or General Fertilizer Recommendations
(GFR) provided by State Governments. The system envisages building up a single national
database on soil health for future use in research and planning. The portals is funded under
the centrally sponsored scheme, National e-governance Plan in Agriculture (NeGPA),
It has also been decided that 2,000 model retail outlets of Fertilizer companies will be
provided with soil and seed testing facilities during the three years, beginning 2016.
Till March 2019, 19 (approx)crore cards have been distributed to farmers.
In two different phases:- 1st
phase--2015-17
2nd
phase—2017-19

Need of study
India is the land of farmers, nearly 58% of the population of the country are directly or
indirectly related to farming. Soil is one of the most important component without which
agriculture is not possible. Hence, Soil Health Card (SHC) scheme is one of the most essential
scheme for the well-being of the farmers. Earlier some southern states in india where having
such scheme for their farmer i.e. Tamilnadu , Karnataka etc., Which were quit successful over
there so, This is being replicated by central government keeping keeping the essence of those
schemes a pan india scheme has been launched which is known soil health card. This scheme
was passed on 19th February 2015. So it is the need of the hour to know about the main
agriculture soil health of the country and hence I opted this topic for my Minor Project.
13. Literature review
Most of the studies are focused on sustainable use of fertilizers on the farms. While some of
the research are focused on such schemes which were launched by different state governments
under different formats, others are focused on projecting unbalanced use of fertilizers by
farmers, where much of the work is done. Hence a need of proper system for proper evaluation
of soil nutrient on regular basis for avoiding excessive or under use of fertilizer.
A lot of research has also been done on the depletion of soil quality due to overuse of fertilizers.
Mulvaneyetal.(2008) focuses on depletion of soil nitrogen due to overuse of synthetic nitrogen
fertilizers.
Makadia (2012) studied regional imbalances and impact of Soil Health Card on fertilizer
consumption in Gujarat, who showed positive and significant impact of Soil Health Card on
per hectare yield of selected crops. Generally, with Soil Health Card farmers utilized the
fertilizers judiciously as per the recommendation of Soil Health Card.
Ramappa K. B. et al (2015), which showed that level of adoption of the recommendations was
very low amongst the farmers, indicating lack of technical advice on method and time of
application, difficulty in understanding and following the recommended doses.
Study done by Ramesh Chand et al. (2015) points towards the imbalanced use of chemical
fertilizers and also stressing on the need of a balanced use of fertilizers for sustainable growth
and output in agriculture.
14. Statement Of Research Problem
“Awareness towards Soil Health Card: A study of Fuliyari village”.
Research objectives
To get an insight regarding Soil Health Card
To find the awareness level for Soil Health Card in Fuliyari village of Mirzapur district.
Research Methodology
Research Design: Descriptive
Population size: Approx. 1300 of Fuliyari village
Sampling Size: 50
Sampling Technique: Study by Convenient Sampling
Sampling Unit: Beneficiaries (Farmers)
Sampling Area: Fuliyari village of Mirzapur district
Primary Data: Collected through Schedule with close ended questionnaires.
Secondary Data: It was collected through books, research papers, reports and internet and
krishi vigyan Kendra, mirzapur.
Data Analysis: Done through Pie-Charts and Bar Graphs.
15. Methodology of data collection
In this study, both secondary and primary sources of data were used. The main sources of
secondary data for this study were previous research findings, Internets, reports of Agriculture
and Rural Development Offices at different levels, Krishi vigyan Kendra, Mirzapur. and other
published and unpublished materials. In addition to thorough review of literature and collection
of relevant secondary data, primary information was gathered from questionnaire method and
household survey. The survey was undertaken in Fuliyari village of Mirzapur district. The
collected data were coded and tabulated for analysis.
Descriptive research
It is used to describe characteristics of a population or phenomenon being studied. It does not
answer questions about how/when/why the characteristics occurred. Rather it addresses the
"what" question (what are the characteristics of the population or situation being studied?) The
characteristics used to describe the situation or population are usually some kind of categorical
scheme also known as descriptive categories.
Convenience sampling
Convenience sampling (also known as availability sampling) is a specific type of non-
probability sampling method that relies on data collection from population members who are
conveniently available to participate in study. Convenience sampling is a type of sampling
where the first available primary data source will be used for the research without additional
requirements. In other words, this sampling method involves getting participants wherever you
can find them and typically wherever is convenient. In convenience sampling no inclusion
criteria identified prior to the selection of subjects. All subjects are invited to participate.

According to the survey conducted my findings are as follows:-
Majority of the farmers of the village are small farmers having an annual income below
2 lakh.
Most of the farmers have land holding of about 1-2 hectare.
Almost 96 % of the farmers have their own land.
As much as 52% of the farmers have heard about the Soil Health Card scheme.
Most of the farmers came to know about the scheme through fellow farmers and
through government agents.
As much as 54 % of the farmers have not opted for the scheme due to various reasons.
Almost 86 % of the farmers are looking forward to take the scheme in near future.
Most of the farmers know about the benefits that are related to the schemes but have
less knowledge about the changes brought up in Soil Health Card.
The farmers have very little knowledge about the benefits.
Lack of awareness is the main reason for the farmers for not opting the scheme.
28. Conclusion
Soil Health Card Scheme is progressing well despite challenges such as inadequate staff, lack
of power supply and internet connectivity among others, a government-commissioned study
has said.
Under the scheme launched in February 2015, soil health cards have been distributed to nearly
ten crore farmers so far, against the target of 12 crore , as per official figures. The card, which
will be issued every three years, provides information to farmers on the nutrient status of soil
along with recommendations on appropriate dosage of soil nutrients to be applied for
improving soil health and its fertility.
“The overall impact of the scheme has been positive, leading to maximization and sustainable
growth at farm level by cost minimization and through efficient utilization of resources,” said
the study done by National Productivity Council (NPC).
In my research finding, I found that nearly half of farmers did not have soil health card, most
of the farmers have their own land and nearly 86% of farmer are wiling to take this schemes in
near future.
So, there is need of an extensive extension program for making the farmer about Soil Health
Card and their benefits for bringing most of the farmer in Soil Health Card schemes.
29. Suggestion:-
The government should promote the awareness level of Soil Health Card through
various extension programmes so as to bring more number of farmers under the scheme.
More soil testing labs should be established in order to provide easy access to lab in
near by areas.

30. Limitations
Some of the limitations for preparation of this project are as follows:
The study was confined to only Fuliyari village of Mirzapur district.
Accuracy of data depends upon the ability & willingness of the respondents.
Unwillingness of the respondents to share information.
Respondents may become reluctant to answer questions as they are not aware of the
scheme.
There was time constraint, but still efforts have been made to put the picture as clear
as possible.
The conservative attitude of the respondents was a limiting factor in gaining
information.
