Answer: Ministry of Education & Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare
Notes: The Union Minister for Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare and Union Minister for Rural Development launched the School Soil Health Programme in New Delhi. The collaborative effort between the Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare and the Department of School Education and Literacy initiated a pilot project in 20 rural Kendriya and Navodaya Vidyalaya schools. It involved setting up soil labs, developing study modules, and providing training to students and teachers. The program, now expanded to 1000 schools, encourages students to collect soil samples, test them in school labs, and educate farmers based on generated Soil Health Cards.
