Srikakulam: Dr Reddy's Foundation -- a family-owned trust and one of the key beneficiaries of the CSR funds of pharma major Dr Reddy's Laboratories -- is scaling up operations at its Hyderabad soil testing facility with the lab targeting between 75,000 and 1,00,000 samples ahead of the next Rabi season -- more than double what it processed in its first full year of operations.
The move comes amid growing concern over depleting soil health and implementation gaps in the Centre's Soil Health Card scheme rolled out nationally in 2015.
