The Soil Health Card scheme was launched in the International year of Soils to maintain the quality and health of soils. The current study examined Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh state to understand the profile of the beneficiaries and their relationship with the level of perception towards Soil Health Cards. This study was carried out in five villages, viz., Anakapalli North-2, Anakapalli South- 2, Kundram, Seethanagaram and Tagarampudi were purposively selected. A sample size of 121 respondents was derived using the proportionate random sampling method. The beneficiaries were approached personally by the researcher for data collection using pre- structured interview schedule. From the data it was found that Innovativeness, Satisfaction Index, Perception on Soil Health and Knowledge regarding Soil Health Cards were found to be significant and contribute positively to the level of perception of the beneficiaries towards Soil Health Cards, while Farming Experience and Risk Orientation showed a negative and significant contribution to the perception of the beneficiaries towards the Soil Health Cards.
