Abstract: Classification of soil is a powerful tool to utilize our national soil resource purposefully and scientifically. The efforts being made since long past did suffer from common acceptance. In order to present a simplified version of soil classification of Indian soils, efforts are made after thorough discussions and interactions to present this scheme for Indian soils. The approach is not only simple and straight forward, but acceptable to the common farmers and policy makers also as it aims at linking soil resource to land use planning and avoids many taxonomic terms that might be suitable for academic purposes. The system is flexible with a very simple structural framework. It has a strong academic base and it will help to establish a strong background of land use planning in order to ensure productivity, safety, profitability and sustainability in Indian agriculture in days to come.
