A cooperation agreement was signed between the Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISSCAS) and the Nepal Agriculture Research Council (NARC).The main objective was to prepare a Soil Map of Nepal using the World Reference Base (WRB) 2010 soil classification system at 1:1000,000 scale in ESRI Shapefile format and also to prepare national soil data base containing soil profile information. Working on behalf of the NARC the Soil Science Division has prepared a Soil Map of Nepal using WRB 2010 classification system at a scale of 1: 1000,000 scale and also prepared soil profile data base exactly in the standard format that fits into the Harmonized World Soil Data Base (HWSD). For this purpose Soil profile information from Land Systems Reports of the LRMP (Land Resources Mapping Project) were extensively used along with some other soil information available with the  Soil Science Division………………….
