enhancing production of pulses during the past 15
years. During 2005-06, the total production of pulses
in India was 13.38 million MT, which increased to
25.58 million MT during 2020-21. This shows an
impressive growth of 91% or a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 4.42%. During 2020-21,
chickpea had a lion’s share of 49.3% in the total pulses
production. Among remaining pulses, pigeonpea
contributed 16.2%, mungbean 10.3%, urdbean 9.3%,
lentil 4.9% and other pulses 9.9%. During the past 15
years, the highest growth in production was observed
for mungbean (178%), followed by chickpea (125%),
