3. • Agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy contributing 13.7% of its total
GDP and employing around 55% of the total working population in India.
• Around 65% of India’s total population is dependent upon agriculture and allied
sectors
• Various cereals (wheat, rice etc.), pulses such as (tur, gram etc.) and oilseeds
(groundnut, soybean) are produced largely in India
• India is the world’s largest producer and consumer of pulses accounting about
27 percent of the total production and about 30 percent of the total consumption
in the world
• The total production of pulses in India during the year 2013-14 was 18.5 million

• Currently, export of pulses is prohibited except Chickpea (Kabuli Chana) and organic
pulses including lentils upto 10,000 MT per annum.
• India is also the largest pulses processor, as pulses exporting nations such as
Myanmar, Canada and Australia, do not have adequate pulses processing facility.
• Pakistan,
Turkey, Algeria
and Sri-Lanka
are the major

18. Schemes for pulses in India
National Pulses Development Project (1970)
• Centrally sponsored project implemented in 26 states/UTs with 75:25 funding between GOI and
states during 6th five year plan respectively
• Emphasis on increasing the area covered as well as the yield per unit area
• Some major components of project were:
1. Production and distribution of certified seed
2. Distribution of Seed Minikits
3. Organization of Frontline Demonstration by ICAR
4. Organization of I.P.M. Demonstrations including the use of Pheromone Traps
5. Distribution of Improved Farm implements
6. Distribution of Sprinkler sets
7. Distribution of Rhizobium Cultures/PSB
Special Food Grain Production Program (1988)
• 100% central assistance basis
• To support the NPDP objectives

19. Schemes cont..
Technology Mission on Oilseeds
and Pulses, 1991
• For increasing the production of pulses to
attain self-sufficiency
• Oilseed Production Program(OPP),
NPDP, Post Harvest Technology(PHT), Oil
Palm Development Program(OPDP),
Accelerated Maize Development
Program(AMDP) and National Oilseeds
and Vegetable Oils Development
Board(NOVODB) came under this project
• Implementation of National Pulses
Development Project has helped in
increasing the production of pulses from
12.86 million tons in 1989-90 to 15.23
million tons during 2003-04 with a
marginal decline 1999-2000 to 2002-03
due to drought
Integrated Scheme on Oilseeds,
Pulses, Oil palm and Maize, 2004
• The four erstwhile schemes of OPP,
OPDP, NPDP and AMDP had been
merged into one Centrally Sponsored
Integrated Scheme of Oilseeds, Pulses,
Oil palm and Maize (ISOPOM) being
implemented from 1.4.2004
.
• Salient features:
1. Flexibility to the states to utilize funds and
introducing innovative measures
2. Annual action plan by state govt.
3. Involvement of private sector by state
govt. with a financial cap of 15%
• The pulses production in the country
increased from 12.8 mt in 1989-90 to 19.5
mt in 2013-14
Source:- dpd.dacnet.nic.in

20. National Food Security Mission (2007)
• Implemented in 17 states(476 districts)
of the country
• To increase production and yield of
wheat, rice and pulses by 8mt, 10mt
and 2mt resp. by the end of 11th five
year plan
• Targeted 4mt increase in production of
pulses in 12th five year plan
• Ensure food security of the country
• Area expansion and increase
productivity and, enhance the farm
profits to restore the confidence of
farmers
• Total financial implications are Rs.
48,000cr during 11th five year plan
Accelerated Pulses Production
Program (2010)
• Launched under NFSM to
increase yield of pulses
• Bridge the yield gap of pulses
• Increasing production and
productivity of gram, urad (black
gram), arhar (redgram/pigeon
pea), moong (green gram ) and
masoor (lentils)
