&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ensuring that pulses sell at the minimum support price and distributing them under the public distribution system can help them find favour with farmers again&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When India went into its first lockdown in 2020, the government announced Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY), under which over 800 million people were to be provided rice, wheat, and pulses, in addition to the ration provided under the public distribution system (PDS). More than 1.2 million tonnes of pulses were distributed under PMGKAY between April and November 2020. While rice and wheat are already a part of India&amp;rsquo;s food security programme, this was the first time the government distributed pulses at such a large scale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED), which is the nodal procurement agency for pulses (like Food Corporation of India, or FCI, is for rice and wheat), faced initial hiccups since it had no prior experience in distribution under PDS. &amp;ldquo;Tying up with millers at such a short notice and for such a large volume, that too at the time of the pandemic where there were logistical issues was a real challenge,&amp;rdquo; Kamlendra Srivastava, executive director, NAFED told Down To Earth (DTE).&lt;/p&gt;

More than 1.2 million tonnes of pulses were distributed under PMGKAY between April and November 2020. While rice and wheat are already a part of India&amp;rsquo;s food security programme, this was the first time the government distributed pulses at such a large scale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED), which is the nodal procurement agency for pulses (like Food Corporation of India, or FCI, is for rice and wheat), faced initial hiccups since it had no prior experience in distribution under PDS. &amp;ldquo;Tying up with millers at such a short notice and for such a large volume, that too at the time of the pandemic where there were logistical issues was a real challenge,&amp;rdquo; Kamlendra Srivastava, executive director, NAFED told Down To Earth (DTE).&lt;/p&gt;

How pulses can regain their lost glory in India -Shagun Kapil, Vivek Mishra, Raju Sajwan, Anil Ashwani Sharma and Bhagirath

-Down to Earth Ensuring that pulses sell at the minimum support price and distributing them under the public distribution system can help them find favour with farmers again When India went into its first lockdown in 2020, the government announced Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY), under which over 800 million people were to be provided rice, wheat, and pulses, in addition to the ration provided under the public distribution system (PDS). More than 1.2 million tonnes of pulses were distributed under PMGKAY between April and November 2020. While rice and wheat are already a part of India’s food security programme, this was the first time the government distributed pulses at such a large scale. The National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED), which is the nodal procurement agency for pulses (like Food Corporation of India, or FCI, is for rice and wheat), faced initial hiccups since it had no prior experience in distribution under PDS. “Tying up with millers at such a short notice and for such a large volume, that too at the time of the pandemic where there were logistical issues was a real challenge,” Kamlendra Srivastava, executive director, NAFED told Down To Earth (DTE).
