3. Introduction Pulses are an important commodity group of crops that provide high quality protein. Although, being the largest pulse crop cultivating country in the World, pulses share to total food grain production is only 7-10% in the country.

4. In India, pulses can be produced with a minimum use of resources and hence, it becomes less costly even than animal protein. In comparison to other vegetables, pulses are rich in protein which are less expensive and can be cultivated as an inter-crop and also as mixed crop. The potential of pulses to help address future global food security, nutrition and environmental sustainability needs has been acknowledged through the UN declaration of the 2016 International year of pulses.

5. Pulses are grown in all three seasons . The three crop seasons for the commodity are: i . Kharif – Red gram, Blackgram, Greengram, Cowpea, Horsegram; ii. Rabi – Gram, Lentil, Pea, Lathyrus and Rajmash iii. Summer – Greengram, Blackgram and Cowpea

7. Importance of Pulse Crops in India 1. Pulses are rich in proteins and found to be main source of protein to vegetarian people of India. 2. It is second important constituent of Indian diet after cereals. 3. They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic conditions. 4. They give ready cash to farmer. 5. They play important role in crop rotation, mixed and intercropping, as they help maintaining the soil fertility.

8. 6. They supply additional fodder for cattle. 7. They provide raw material to various industries. Ex. Dal industry, Roasted grain industry, Papad industry etc. 10.The World Health Organisation estimates that up to 80% of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes and over a third of cancers could be prevented by eliminating risk factors, such as unhealthy diets and promoting better eating habits, of which pulses are an essential component.

9. Production, Area and Yield of pulses India is the largest producer (25% of global production), consumer (27% of world consumption) and importer (14%) of pulses in the world. Pulses account for around 20 per cent of the area under foodgrains and contribute around 7-10 per cent of the total foodgrains production in the country. Though pulses are grown in both Kharif and Rabi seasons, Rabi pulses contribute more than 60 per cent of the total production.

15. Yield of Pulses •Yield of pulses crops in India is less when compared to the world average. However, the average yield of pulses crop in the country has increased gradually over the period under analysis. Kharif pulses give lesser yields when compared to Rabi pulses. In individual cases of pulses, the rate of yield is higher in the case of peas and beans, and followed by gram, tur, masur, lathyrus, urad, and kulthi. Yield of moth is very less when compared to other pulses crops.

17. Per capita availability of pulses in India : As a result of stagnant pulse production and continuous increase in population, the per capita availability of pulses has decreased considerably. The per capita per day availability of pulses also decreased. In the year 2014, provisional per capita/year availability is 17.2 kg which is 47.2 g per capita per day

20. EXPORT AND IMPORT According to the Pulses Meet Resolution of India (2008), on one hand India is the largest importer, producer and consumer of pulses. But, on the other hand, India is also the largest pulses processor, as pulses exporting nations such as Myanmar, Canada and Australia, do not have adequate pulses processing facility. The reason is that these countries do not have much domestic consumption of pulses and therefore, they have never attempted to develop domestic processing industry. Due to this India re-exports a considerable amount of pulses.

21. YEAR IMPORT 2012-13 38.39 2013-14 36.44 2014-15 45.85 2015-16 57.98 Import of pulses

24. World Scenario of pulses Production -77.473 Million Tonnes Area -85.191Million Hectors Yield -909 kg/ha India is the largest producer, largest consumer and the largest importer of pulses in the world. In India Pulses are grown in around 24-26 million hectares of area producing 17-19 million tonnes of pulses annually. India accounts for over one third of the total world area and over 20 per cent of total world production.

25. Various uses of pulses 1. Almost 80% of Indian pulses are consumed either in split form or as flour. 2. Split and whole peas are generally cooked and served as dal along with rice or roti. 3. Chickpea flour (besan) is a major ingredient in several Indian snack foods. Urad and mung flour also go onto making snack foods such as pappad (a kind of wafer). 4.Some multinational firms are now active in manufacturing and marketing Indian type snacks.

26. Conclusion The production & marketing of pulses remarkably less in the subsistance forming system. Therefore, there is great need for steps to be taken for educating formers about the production, transfer of technology through extension techniques and also create effective infrastructure facility. Problems of Indian pulses economy can be solved with the increase the sources of production. Effective and continuous efforts are needed to increase the area under cultivation as well as the yield of pulses. By this exports will increase and imports decreases.
