India’s Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses

India's 'Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses,' launched on October 11, 2025, is a six-year strategic plan backed by a financial allocation of ₹11,440 crore spanning 2025–26 to 2030–31. The mission aims to achieve self-sufficiency in pulses production by 2030–31, targeting a production of nearly 350 lakh tonnes and a yield of 1,130 kg per hectare. Key strategies include expanding cultivation area to 310 lakh hectares, promoting climate-resilient seeds, establishing 1,000 dal mills, and ensuring assured procurement of Tur, Urad, and Masoor through agencies like NCCF and NAFED. The sector showed progress in 2025–26 with production rising to 274.09 lakh tonnes and imports declining by 31.52%. Digital tools like Krishi Mapper, the SATHI portal, AgriStack, and E-Samriddhi are integrated for monitoring and transparency.
