Niti Aayog has set a long-term vision to double India’s pulses production by 2047, raising output to 51.57 million tonnes. This plan is designed to secure the country’s nutritional and food requirements while ensuring surplus production in the decades ahead. The strategy involves achieving self-sufficiency in pulses by 2030 and then scaling up production further through technological innovations, climate-smart agriculture, and region-specific cultivation models. By focusing on seed quality, advanced farming tools, and resilience against climate stress, the roadmap highlights a holistic approach to strengthening India’s agricultural sector and empowering farmers for sustainable growth.
