Introduction
Neglected by Green Revolution
India’s position in the world:
33% of area
25% of production
27% of consumption
Imports 3 - 4 million tones of pulses every year
Important source of protein
Per capita availability decreasing – 60 g/day in 1950 &
31.6 g/day in 2011
Importance of pulses in Indian Agriculture
Sustainable agricultural production
Improving soil health and nutrient fixation
Fodder for cattle

Raw material for industries
Important rain-fed crop
Government’s response….
Pulses Development Scheme (4th FYP) (1969-70 to 1973-74)
National Pulses Development Project (7th FYP) (1985-86 to
1989-90)
Special Food Grain Production Program (1988-89)
ISOPOM – (2004)
NFSM-Pulses (A3P) – (2007-08)
Special Plan to achieve 19+ Million tonnes of Pulses
production during Kharif (2012-13)
Objectives
To study the spatial and temporal variation
in pulses production in India with special
emphasis on chickpea and pigeonpea.

To study the factors affecting relative area
allocation to pulses.
Four distinct phases of pulses
development
 Pre-green Revolution period (1960-1970)
 Stagnant area and production
 No major breakthroughs in pulses research and
government schemes
 Post-green revolution period (1971-1990)
 Area and production decreased in northern and eastern
zones
 Area and production increased in southern, western and
central zones
 Pulses Development Scheme (4th Plan)
Four distinct phases of pulses
development
 Post-liberalization period (1991-2000)
 Further increase in pulses area and production in southern
and western states
 Short duration and wilt resistant
 Special Food Grain Production Program (1988-89)
 Post-trade spike period (2001 – present)
 Third take off in pulses area and production in southern
states and western states
 Could trade have played a role in domestic production and
consumption?

  • 29. Major Findings and policy implications Major Findings Policy Implications Authorities Pulses are competing with Integrated agricultural cereals (chickpea with wheat policy with clear cut & pigeonpea with paddy), strategies – MSP, irrigation negatively Procurement associated with relative area infrastructure. Central & State Governments allocation to pulses. Decoupling of centres of pulses production and Developing effective supply chain management system Central & State Governments, Private sector consumption. 29
  • 30. Major Findings Policy Implications Within states – regional Region specific specialization & Between technologies and crop states - geographical Authorities varieties will serve well. ICAR, CGIAR, SAU’s continuity observed. High yield instability and yield gap observed in the northern & western India Diffusion of available technologies, improving Seed Replacement Rate State Governments
  • 31. Major Findings July rainfall – Negatively associated with relative area allocation to pigeonpea Policy Implications Authorities Take soil conservation, State Governments drainage, agronomic measures to address flooding problem in pigeonpea Developing short duration flood resistant varieties in pigeonpea ICAR, CGIAR, SAU’s
