Abstract

This study is conducted to assess the awareness levels of farmers regarding the Soil Health Card and identify the constraints they encountered in utilizing its information in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state. The research was conducted in Chandrapur district, specifically in the talukas of Warora, Bhadravati, Jivti, and Rajura. Three villages were selected from each taluka and ten respondents were selected from each village, resulting in a total of 120 purposively selected respondents for the study. Data collection involved personal interviews using a structured interview schedule. The findings revealed that slightly over half of the respondents (54.17%) had a moderate level of awareness about the Soil Health Card, while a quarter of the farmers (25.00%) had low awareness, and just over twenty per cent (20.83%) had a high level of awareness. The study also examined the distribution of respondents based on the constraints they faced and their efforts to overcome these challenges. These findings contribute to our understanding of the awareness and constraints faced by farmers in effectively utilizing the information from the Soil Health Card, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve its implementation in the region.
