Increasing per
capita availability of pulses from 32g to 40g at affordable price |
|
Effective
policy, efficient marketing, technological and developmental interventions to ensure
competitive edge of pulses vis-a-vis competing crops and commodities |
|
To improve net
value realization from by-products (pulse milling) of pulses by development of diversified
and value added products for domestic consumption and exports (like biscuits etc.) |
|
Selective
mechanization to improve efficiency and over come drudgery in pulses production |
