Soil Health Mission
The mobile application “Soil Sample Collector” is developed for soil health card scheme, by KSRSAC. It replaces analog positioning of the soil sampling location with digital positioning. This application is enables preloading of base map and cadastral map of area of interest with grids for locating the points of soil sample collection. It comes with grid map showing 10 ha grids 320 m x 320 m and 2.5 ha grids, 160 m x 160 m for rain fed and irrigated areas of the state respectively to facilitate soil sampling. Soil sampling point is shown with an ID and co-ordinates as dot in the Centre of each grid. It supports digital positioning of points of soil sample collection and syncs it to a database for further processing. It helps in collecting 16.65 lakh soil samples benefitting 78.32 lakh farmers. The KSRSAC developed “agrigisportal” dashboard integrating the mobile app to display status of soil sampling. When a location of soil sampling is synced to the database a link is established to “Bhoomi” software and details of the farmers within the grid are integrated with Soil Health Portal of GoI.
Salient features:
The mobile app has all the required tools to reach the point of soil sample collection, record land details including geographical co-ordinates, take photographs and sync all the data collected to the database.

Horticulture
The Department of Horticulture, GoK is in the process of adopting end to end computerization of all activities of the department. It has been observed that the beneficiary oriented schemes implemented by the Department are being handled without any checks and balances, which has resulted in non-availability of beneficiary database with relevant information like survey number, beneficiary ID, contact number, address of the beneficiary etc.
KSRSAC has developed a mobile application for verification of locations of fields (survey numbers) for which formers annual benefits of various horticulture schemes.
The location of the field’s in-terms of coordinates is captured before sanctioning the subsidy amount (Pre inspection). Post implementation of the subsidy programme fields verification is carried out to check whether or not the subsidy benefits are used in the proposed. The application uses the digitized geo referenced village cadastral maps.
Advantages
This mobile application is used by the Assistant Horticultural Officers (AHO). It has the login credentials for each Assistant Horticultural Officer (AHO) of the department. It helps AHOs to carry the information to the field and verify the survey number of the field for which the farmers applied for availing subsidy from the Department of Horticulture. It helps the department to scrutinize the application and identify the credentials of the beneficiary. The app has the village map with survey number in the back ground. When a horticultural officer goes to the field and logs in to the mobile app, he can navigate to the correct survey number and ensure that the correct survey number field is put under the Implementation of the benefits
