Abstract

The study shows positive impact of NFSM programme on pulses crops cultivation in Maharashtra since the element of profit involved in their cultivation was substantially high after its implementation. The plausible reasons for rise in profit margins could be traced to higher productivity, higher prices on offer, adoption of improved varieties of seeds, higher adoption of recommended practices (including application of organic manure, chemical fertilizers, and so on), assistance received under NFSM-pulses programme, etc. The initiation of NFSM-pulses would certainly pay rich dividend since the major thrust of this programme is on increasing seed replacement and the replacement of older varieties by newer ones. It offers much more than what the earlier programmes did, especially with respect to capacity-building, monitoring and planning.
