This document summarizes a review meeting on crop demonstrations for pulses held in India in 2020. It provides targets and achievements for demonstrations of various pulses conducted in 2019-2020, identifying gaps in yields for different crops compared to farmer practices, state averages, and national averages. An action plan and budget details are also included for demonstrations of pulses to be conducted in 2020-2021.

Review Meeting on CFLDs on Pulses
under NFSM organized during 2019-20
and Action Plan for 2020-21
Dr S.K. Singh & Dr. M. S. Meena
Presented during Review Workshop on NFSM-Pulses on 10th June 2020 through video-conferencing.

2. Major Initiatives/issues undertaken by KVKs
i. Situation specific Technological packages are decided based on gap
analysis between existing & recommended practices in each season.
ii. Critical inputs are decided/rationalized as per financial norm in each
crop.
iii. Critical practices are also demonstrated as per demand and
applicability under different Farming Situations.
iv. Participatory planning, execution, monitoring and evaluation is done.
v. Farmer’s contribution is also taken especially in chickpea
demonstration as seed rate (kg/ha) is more in chickpea in comparison
to other pulse crops, 20-25 percent cost of seed is borne by farmer’s
themselves.
vi. Involvement of subject matter specialists of Agronomy, Plant
Protection, Agriculture Extension and Home Scientist in finalization
of technological packages, execution, monitoring & evaluation of
CFLDs.
 Majority of KVKs of Rajasthan have initiated to mobilize farmers to
keep as seed of produce under Front Line Demonstration for next year
Farmer-Farmer diffusion and large scale multiplication.
