Nationwide pulse revolution was launched from Amlaha in Sehore district

¨     A major shift in India's agricultural policy began from a small town in Madhya Pradesh. On February 7, 2026, the nationwide Dal Revolution was launched from Amlaha in Sehore district. On this occasion, the Mission for Self-Reliance in Pulses was formally launched, aiming to eliminate India's dependence on imported pulses.

¨     This initiative sent a clear message from the grassroots level that India will no longer be an importer of pulses but will move towards becoming a global exporter, with farmers at the center of policy-making.

¨     The nationwide Dal Revolution was launched from the Food Pulses Research Institute (FLRP) in Amlaha, Sehore district, Madhya Pradesh, under the chairmanship of Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

¨     The National Pulses Consultation was attended by Union and State Agriculture Ministers, scientists, FPOs, seed companies, millers, and progressive farmers. Unlike previous policy meetings, this dialogue was field-based, not file-based.

¨ The roadmap for the Pulse Self-Sufficiency Mission was developed with direct participation of farmers, marking a historic step towards farmer-centric agricultural governance.
