अधिकारी परेशान, 500 करोड़ की मंजूरी कहां अटकी रही? Agriculture Ministry | Pulses Mission

India launched the Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses to achieve self-reliance in pulse production, but a year after its launch, not a single research project has received approval under the mission, despite ₹500 crore being allocated for research. In this exclusive report by Harikishan Sharma, we examine why research approvals have been delayed, who is responsible, and what the delay could mean for India's agricultural economy. The Union Agriculture Ministry says it has received 419 research proposals from agricultural research institutions, universities and other eligible organisations. Their scientific quality, practical application and potential benefits for farmers are being evaluated. The government has allocated ₹11,440 crore for the mission, which aims to increase pulse production to 350 lakh metric tonnes by 2030-31. While official estimates show improvements in cultivated area, production and productivity, delays in research approvals raise questions about the mission's implementation and long-term goals. Watch the full report to understand the facts behind the delay and what lies ahead for India's pulse sector. #MissionforAatmanirbhartainPulses #Agriculture #Pulses #Research
