Initiatives to boost production of pulses
BHUBANESWAR: To fight under nutrition, the agriculture ministry has lined up several incentives to boost the production of pulses in the State.
Only last year, high inflation triggered a drastic fall in the per capita pulse consumption.
The per capita pulse consumption in the State has fallen to mere 11gm/day now from over 26gm/day in 2000-01.
