Govt to identify rainfed areas to boost pulses production, check prices
The department plans to support farmers with quality seeds and technical assistance, along with procurement assurance
In response to a decline in India's gram (chana) imports in the fiscal year 2026, the government is intensifying measures to bolster domestic production of pulses. The objective is to lessen reliance on imports and maintain stable prices of these essential food items. Dhirendra Kumar, a seasoned policy reporter with over two decades of experience, will be tracking this development closely.
