The main objectives of this study is to collect information of soil type and various parameters like pH, conductivity, bulk density, water retaining capacity, moisture content, available nitrogen, available phosphorous, available potassium. For this study 5 sampling points were selected from different departments. By analyzing the soil sample, soil was found to be light yellowish brown to pale olive in colour. The soil was found to be slightly acidic. The nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium values are found to be low in all departments.
