Vision 2050
The perspective plan of ICAR-IIPR, Kanpur for augmenting pulse production in the country through technology upgradation.
The present production of pulses in the country hovers around 19 million tonnes, which falls short of the present domestic requirement of around 21 million tonnes. In order to ensure self-sufficiency, the pulse requirement in the country is projected at 39 million tonnes by the year 2050, which necessitates an annual growth rate of 2.2%. Keeping this in mind, the Institute has crafted Vision 2050 — a perspective plan for augmenting pulses production in the country through technology upgradation.

Flagship Projects
Keeping in view the projected demand of pulses by 2050, the institute proposes these 5 flagship projects.
Development of cytoplasmic genetic male sterility (CGMS) based hybrids for enhancement of productivity and stability of yield in pigeonpea
Integrated approach for genetic enhancement through pre-breeding
Basic and Strategic research on Pulses in Rice Fallows
IPM for major pulse crops

Where the plan starts from
Signal Achievements of the XI Plan
The record the document sets out as the base for its 2050 targets.
Achieved all time high record of 19.78 million tonnes of pulses production in the country during 2013-14
Developed 82 improved varieties of 6 major pulse crops
Whole genome sequencing of pigeonpea & chickpea was accomplished
Sixty donors were identified for various morpho-physiological traits, plant types & biotic stress resistance, 13 unique germplasm lines were registered with NBPGR
Two extra early maturing genotypes of mungbean (IPM 205-7 and IPM 409-4) maturing in less than 52 days were developed
Identified resource conservation techniques in pulses viz., raised bed planting, drip irrigation and mulching to minimize water loss and enhance water productivity
Ten heat tolerant genotypes of chickpea were identified
About 85,000 q breeder seed produced in different pulses during the plan
Developed & popularized functional participatory seed production model of pulses
