THE INDIAN COUNCIL OF AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH (ICAR)
has made an authentic and standardized classification of soils and divided the soils of India into the following 8 groups:

(1) ALLUVIAL SOILS (2) BLACK SOILS (3) RED AND YELLOW SOILS (4) LATERITE SOILS (5) ARID SOILS (6) SALINE SOILS (7) PEATY AND ORGANIC SOILS (8) FOREST SOILS



FOREST SOILS
These soils are found in the hilly areas, covered with forests. The main characteristic of these soils is the accumulation of organic matter derived from forest cover. The soils are not uniform everywhere but there are variations in their distribution. The soils are loamy and have silt in the valley areas and are coarse grained, kankar etc. in the higher areas. There are some important types of soils which have been spread over areas described below: (i) Fine Textured Soil. Usually the outwash and river valleys develop these type of soils. For example, in many areas of upper Himalayas (Lahul-Spiti, Kinnaur and even in Ladakh), soils have not fully developed as such stone, kankar and shallow soils are met with.
