Mission Aatmanirbharta in Pulses: MSP Procurement Focus
The Government of India has initiated a dedicated 6-year Mission to foster Aatmanirbharta (Self-reliance) in the Pulses sector. This strategic mission emphasizes boosting domestic production.
A significant component of this initiative is the commitment to ensuring farmer profitability and market access through 100 percent procurement of selected pulses at the Minimum Support Price (MSP).
Key Pulses for Assured MSP Procurement
The pulses identified for this special focus, ensuring 100 percent MSP procurement under the mission, are:
- Tur (Pigeon Pea)
- Urad (Black Gram)
- Masoor (Lentil)
This targeted approach aims to enhance self-sufficiency in these vital crops.
