Thanks for your query.
Pulses are mainly rainfed crops, so the scarcity and uncertainty of rain are pushing farmers to shift to other crops. there is no MSP (minimum support price) for pulses unlike food crops like rice and wheat.
Considering the above fact, the production was not enough as per consumption and it caused the hike in the price of pulses and policies of the Indian Government was criticized.
India’s pulses production fell from 19.25 MT in 2013-14 to 17.3 MT in 2014-15. It further reduced due to subsequent drought years in 2014-15 and 2015-16.
In the wake of rising prices of pulses in 2015, the Indian government appealed to Indian farmers to make the country self-reliant.
Because of increasing support price for pulses and government interventions like procurement, farmers were encouraged to grow more pulses and the country became self-reliant.
Thanks and regards,
