<h1>Self-sufficiency in pulses through a mission combining assured procurement, seed programmes, and value chain strengthening.</h1> Cabinet approves a six-year Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses establishing targets for area and yield expansion and a cluster-based implementation model, backed by large-scale certified seed distribution, multi-location trials, state rolling seed production plans and a seed authentication portal. A central operational feature is assured procurement of designated pulses under a price support mechanism, with full procurement by designated agencies from registered farmers entering procurement agreements, alongside subsidies for processing units and measures to strengthen the value chain and reduce post harvest losses.
