What is the contribution of pulses in Indian agriculture? |
|
Answer» Most of the people in India are vegetarian and hence pulses are the main source of protein in diet. Moreover, pulse crop enhances soil fertility and thus helps the farmers. Pulses are grown in rabi and kharif seasons. Pulse may not be the staple diet but is the main source of protein and hence is grown over a large area. As per data, pulses are grown over 200 lakh hectare of land in our country. Pulses comprise about 10% of total foodgrain production in India. |
