(c): The Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare (DA&FW) is implementing National Food Secuirty & Nutrition Mission (NFSNM) programme in all 28 states and 2 Union Territories viz Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh with the objective to increase foodgrain production including pulses through area expansion and productivity enhancement. The Targeting Rice Fallow Area (TRFA-Pulses) is a sub-scheme under NFSNM being implemented in 11 states for cultivation of pulses in rice fallow areas. The pulses are mostly grown in rainfed areas and help to improve soil fertility by fixing nitrogen in soil. Under NFSNM-Pulses,  interventions such as demonstration  of  latest  crop  production  &  protection  technologies,  cropping  system  based demonstrations,  inter-cropping  of  pulses  with  other  foodgrain  crops/Oilseeds/  Commercial crops, cultivation in rice fallow areas is being promoted for area expansion and newly released High Yielding Varieites (HYVs) are promoted for productivity enhancement.

The Crop Diversificaiton Programme is being implemented in original green revolution states viz; Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh under Pradhan Mantri-Rashtriya Krsihi Vikas Yojana (PM-RKVY) to divert the area of water guzzling paddy crop to alternate crop like pulses, oilseeds, coarse cereals, nutri-cereals, cotton and agro-forestry.
