Posted On:

- The Government has launched the National Mission on Edible Oils- Oilseeds (NMEO- OS), for enhancing domestic oilseed production and achieving self-reliance (Atmanirbhar Bharat) in edible oils. The Mission has provision of creating 600 Value Chain Clusters across the country, collectively covering more than 10 lakh hectare annually.
- A Consortia Research Platform on Hybrid Technology for higher productivity in selected field crops including oilseeds (Indian Mustard) and Pulses (Pigeonpea) is in operation since 2014-15 to accelerate the development of hybrids.
- For promotion of sunflower hybrids, a scheme “Revival of sunflower cultivation project” is in operation for production and distribution of about 15000 q of certified seeds of 10 hybrids in sunflower growing regions of the country.
- National Food Security Mission, Government of India, supported Front-Line Demonstration on Pigeonpea, sunflower and castor hybrids on farmers’ field.
- A network project on “Enhancing Pigeonpea production and productivity in India using short duration high yielding Pigeonpea varieties and hybrids” is operated.
- In order to address the issue of availability of quality seed to farmers, 34 oilseeds and 150 pulses seed hub centres are established at Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) institutes and State Agricultural Universities (SAUs).
All India Coordinated Research Projects on different oilseeds and pulses are the nodal agencies for assessing yield performance and stability of the hybrid technology in specific zone and make final recommendation for its release at the national level. After release and notification, the hybrids/varieties are included into seed chain for seed multiplication. Simultaneously, the Front-Line Demonstrations are also conducted to demonstrate the production potential and estimating benefit cost ratio of the technology in the farmers field for first time under the supervision of the scientists.
This information was given by Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shri Bhagirath Choudhary in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
