<p>The present study examines the spatial variation of soil profile characteristics and their implications for agricultural and agro-industrial potential in the Purulia&ndash;Bankura region using Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques. The <strong>scope</strong> of the research includes the integration of soil texture, nutrient status, organic matter, and land capability data with spatial layers to identify productivity and suitability zones. GIS-based analysis reveals marked spatial heterogeneity in soil properties, significantly influencing crop productivity and land-use potential (FAO, 2006; Burrough &amp; McDonnell, 2015). The findings indicate that areas with favourable soil depth, moderate texture, and higher organic content correspond to higher agricultural output and better agro-industrial suitability (Brady &amp; Weil, 2017; USDA, 2014). The study further demonstrates that GIS-supported soil evaluation improves decision-making accuracy over conventional methods (Longley et al., 2015). Recommendations for further research include the incorporation of temporal soil moisture data, climate variables, and remote sensing-based crop yield models to enhance predictive precision and sustainable regional planning (Mandal et al., 2018).</p>
