💨 Abstract

The Indian government plans to launch a six-year pulses mission, focusing on tur, urad, and masoor, to promote crop diversity and self-reliance. The mission aims to reduce dependence on imports, as India is a significant consumer and producer of pulses but still imports pulses due to supply-demand imbalances. Central agencies will procure these pulses from registered farmers.
