Punjab Government Digitalizes Farming by Launching ‘Lab on Wheels’ Initiative for Direct Soil and Water Testing

LAHORE — In a major push toward modernization and precision agriculture, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has launched the revolutionary “Lab on Wheels” mobile service to deliver instant soil and water testing directly to the doorsteps of farmers across the province. To maintain complete operational transparency and efficiency, the provincial authorities have set up a central control room equipped with live camera streaming and comprehensive dashboard monitoring. The entire service workflow is tightly regulated: the mobile lab deployments are strictly request-driven, with field teams dispatched only after dynamic approval from the designated district laboratory in-charge. Furthermore, field team attendance and on-site logs are strictly verified in real-time through a dedicated mobile application, ensuring that expert agricultural guidance, essential nutrient assessments, and tailored crop care recommendations are accurately delivered to optimize farming yields.
