    Solution

    The Government of India has set a target to achieve self-sufficiency in pulses by 2027. Under the MSP policy for Rabi Marketing Season 2026–27, procurement is targeted at 297 LMT, with focus on pulses and oilseeds instead of just cereals. The MSP ensures 1.5 times the cost of production, covering 22 crops. Procurement is handled by agencies like FCI, NAFED, NCCF, and CCI. The PM-AASHA scheme’s allocation was raised to ₹60,000 crore, reflecting the government’s push for pulse self-reliance
