 Total Area = 2.228 Lakh hectare
= 2228 sqkm
 Effective area of a toposheet = 630 sqkm
 Effective toposheet coverage of Srinagar District = 3.53
o 3.35 X 20(profile pits/toposheet ) = 67 Profile Pits

8. Jammu
 Total Area = 3.097 Lakh hectare
= 3097 sqkm
 Effective area of a toposheet = 630 sqkm
 Effective toposheet coverage of Srinagar District = 4.9
o 4.9 X 20(profile pits/toposheet ) = 98 Profile Pits

15. Detailed Scope of Work
1. Digging
• We carried out this process in supervision of
soil scientist at the sites selected by your
office , and we collected all required
information related to soil site and
morphological properties of soil and
collected soil sample from each horizon for
laboratory analysis.
• We dug soil profiles to a minimum depth of
150 cm or up to the lithic contact / Para lithic
contact / bed rock.
• We collected samples from each horizon and
stored in a polythene bag wrapped in cloth
bag and marked with sample bag numbers.

18. Morphological Study
1. Morphological study of Soil Profiles
• We deputed soil scientist for morphological
study of soil profiles to record all
morphological parameters and other site
characteristics as per the data sheet formats
prescribed by your office.
• We collected horizon-wise samples from
each profile weighing at least 1.5 kg.
• GPS readings of all sample collection sites
has been taken.
• Field photos of profile plus land use has
been taken.

21. Transportation
We Collected samples for district Srinagar and
Jammu ( 170 approx. ) and transported with
proper packaging to our Lab in Hyderabad.

23. Processing of Soil Samples
Upon receiving Soil samples in Hyderabad each
sample went under process of removing
unwanted substances through sieving and each
sample is dried under shade .

25. Conclusion
We expect final Lab reports by the end of this
month and same will be submitted to your
office in desired format.
