The programme of oilseeds development has been restructured  and  National  Mission  on  Oilseeds  and  Oil  Palm  (NMOOP)  was  launched  in  the country including Karnataka from 2014-15 and under implementation during 2016-17.

For  increasing  the productivity of pulse and oilseeds large number of KVKs have been involved in organizing Front Line  Demonstrations  (FLDs)  across  the  country  including  Karnataka.

The provision for supply of free seed minikits has also been initiated from 2016-17.
