28. Special Features
Responsibility is fixed on District Joint Directors of Agriculture and extension staff for achieving the targets allotted.
Season wise internal Concurrent Evaluation and Final Evaluation to be taken up by Department of Economics and Statistics.
The District Annual Plans will be formulated based on the targets allocated to the districts and submitted for approval of the State Committee.
The District Committee will have powers for innovative measures or any special component to the extent of 10% of the financial allocation.
For involvement of private sector provision to the extent of 10-15% would be set apart.
District Committee may revise inter componental changes up to 20% based on local situation from the non seed component.
The seed subsidy is allowed is 50% of the cost or Rs. 12/- per kg whichever is less.
Subsidy on Sprinklers is raised from 50% to 90% and HDPE pipes for carrying water to the fields of high statured Pulse crops like Redgram is included.
Provision for infrastructure development.
Provision for contract research

29. Special Features (Contd..)
Net income of farmers growing pulses will increase as given below which will encourage them to go for pulses
The project will save Rs crores of import bill on pulses.
The implementation of the Mission demands that the Extension machinery including Model
farmers are fully geared up .The farmers and Extension staff are intensively trained.

30. Financial Statement Abstract
(Rs in lakhs)

31. Constraints in Pulses Production (contd..)
2. Inadequate availability of quality seeds of improved varieties
3. Prone to Pest & Diseases and Heavy yield Loses
4. Inadequate and imbalanced use of nutrients
5. Pulses suffer heavily from soil moisture stress/drought
6. Lack of mechanization
7. Trade policy and MSP do not fully support pulse growers

32. Constraints in Pulses Production
1. Net returns in Pulses are low compared to Rice, Maize etc.
Source:- Department of Agriculture / Marketing
As could be seen the net returns especially Greengram and Redgram are not attractive where as, there is an immediate need for increase in production of pulses in the state through increase in area and productivity.
Since Redgram is the staple food it is envisaged to increase its productivity and production along with other pulses.

33. Mission Structure
A State Level Executive Committee will be constituted under the chairmanship of Special Chief Secretary (Agriculture) to over see the activities of the Mission in the state.
Commissioner of Agriculture will be the convenor of the meeting and Vice Chancellor ANGRAU, Secretary (Irrigation), Secretary (Power), Convenor of the SLBC etc. will be the members.
At district level, the committee will be headed by District Collector and JDA concerned will be the convenor with members from line departments and banks etc.

34. Strategy and Approach for the project implementation
It is proposed to radically change the implementation strategy of pulse production programme by concentrating on Block demonstrations
Focused attention on Integrated Nutrient Management (through supply of Sulphur, micronutrients, Rhizobium culture, PSB and Urea for foliar spray).
IPM (through supply of fungicides for seed treatment and Need Based Pesticides for insect control.) and weed control through supply of weedicides.
It will be implemented in a Mission mode.

35. Strategy for increasing the Pulses Production
General:-
Government to provide 50% subsidy to farmers on certified seeds.
Sprinklers to be supplied on 90% subsidy.
INM & IPM kits to be supplied to the farmers while providing intensive field trainings.
Credit to be provided to all pulse growers.
MSP which is generally lower than the market rate should be reviewed & enhanced periodically by Government of India.

36. Infrastructure Development
Increased production of seed and its storage is crucial for the success of the Mission,
Therefore provision is made to create appropriate need based infrastructure facilities for this purpose.
This will be used for providing irrigation facilities on seed farms (bore wells, tube wells, lining of channels, pump sets levelling of fields, fencing etc) and creation of storage facilities.
Department and ANGRAU could avail this provision.

37. Additional Area Planned and requirement of various class of seed
for the year &

38. Pulses Research by ANGRAU:
An amount of 5% of allocation under seed component will be earmarked to ANGRAU for Contract Research for development of new varieties including drought resistant varieties of pulses. Specific new problems hampering cultivation of these crops needing immediate remedies will also be taken up by ANGRAU.
Transfer of Technology:
Block Demonstrations:
The size of each demonstration will be 5 ha in a compact area to the extent possible.
Results will be analyzed and evaluated and given wide publicity through distribution of leaflets and other mass communication media
Demonstration on Integrated Pest Management (Farmers Field School)

39. Monitoring & Evaluation
The Mission will have a strong mechanism of Monitoring of Evaluation with the involvement of all the concerned agencies and line departments.
Formats for monitoring progress under various interventions will be developed and communicated to the implementing officers.
Internal Concurrent Evaluation will be done at the end of each season.
Final evaluation will be done by Director of Economics & Statistics.
District Joint Directors of Agriculture will be allotted targets for area coverage, productivity and production levels to be achieved for each season and the performance of Joint Directors of Agriculture and field extension staff will be reviewed against achievements every year.

45. Goal of the Mission & Objectives
The over all goal of the Mission is to ensure a balance between the requirement and production of pulses in the state for major pulse crops viz. Redgram, Greengram, Blackgram and Bengalgram.
Objectives:
The main objectives of the mission are:
a) To improve the lot of rainfed farmers through pulse production.
b) To increase the area, productivity and production of major pulses i.e.
Redgram, Greengram, Blackgram and Bengalgram.
To establish the Mission in partnership with stakeholders farmers’ groups /private /public institutions by ensuring end to end resources availability and by adopting improved INM and 1PM production technologies for accelerating the production of pulses
To provide technical support by the extension staff throughout the growing season with a view to ensure effective dissemination of improved production technology to the farmers.
To establish Village Based Seed System for self sufficiency in seeds on the same lines as that of Seed Village Scheme.

46. Need for the Mission
The present normal production of pulses is lakh tons.
Under NFSM the target given is lakh tons by end of XI plan.
The present pulses requirement is estimated at lakh tons during 2010 based on 26 kg per capita need per year as per NIN recommendation, similarly based on NCA 25 kg per head per year it is estimated at lakh tons during 2010.
Thus there is a gap of more than lakh tons.
Hence there is an urgent need to step up the production of pulses in order to meet the growing demand.

48. iv. Table showing area covered under Redgram in irrigated areas and plan for 2010-11 & 2011-12

49. Pulses Overview
India is the largest producer of pulses with 25% share in Global production.
During the total production in the country was million tons from an area of million ha.
The present production is not keeping pace with domestic requirements
The Nation has to import 2-3 Million tons of pulses annually.
India is the largest importer of Pulses.
The import bill during was Rs crores.
The deficit in availability vis-à-vis expected demand is anticipated to continue in future.

However under Perspective Plan formulated earlier, the pulses requirement was estimated at lakh tons during 2010 based on 26 kg per capita need per year as per NIN recommendation, similarly based on NCA 25 kg per head per year it is estimated at lakh tons during 2010.
Thus there is an urgent need to step up the production of pulses in order to meet the growing demand.

51. 2. Potentials for Productivity Enhancement
1. In addition to use of improved seed, other interventions like Integrated Nutrient
Management i.e. use of Sulphur, micronutrients, Rhizobium culture, PSB, urea
spray, 1PM, weed management are equally important in productivity enhancement.
Specific contribution of these interventions is as follows:
2. Application of Sulphur increases the productivity by 17.4% to 24.1% in different
Pulse crops
3. Rhizobium applications result into productivity enhancement to the tune of 11.1 to
21.0 percent.
4. In case of Redgram 2 percent foliar spray of urea without and with recommended
doses of fertilizer contributes to 39 to 106 percent respectively in productivity
increase.
5. Yield increase through adoption of 1PM technology is 17.6 to 28.1 percent
6. Control of weeds results into yield increase of to 40 percent
7. Planting on ridges gives 25.7 % higher yield and bed planting in black soils
increases the productivity by 20-30%.
8. Micronutrients like zinc, boron and iron also have significant effect on productivity
enhancement.
