3 Salient Features Initiated in with allocation of Rs 4880 crore in XI Plan Target of additional foodgrain production of 20 million tonnes (MT) during XI plan. (10 - rice, 8 - wheat & 2- pulses) Targets of additional foodgrain production of 25 MT (10 rice, 8 wheat , 4 pulses and 3 coarse cereals) during XII plan Focus on districts with productivity of rice/wheat below State average & potential for area expansion and productivity Focus on pulses 3 National Food Security Mission
