Pulses are very much important for Indian diet. India is at top amongst all the major pulses producing countries but it is unable to meet out the domestic demand. The production till now is not sufficient to feed the whole Indian population. The domestic yield of pulses is very low as compared to global average and the same situation prevails in case of per capita availability. Thus, the present study is an attempt to examine the growth and instability in area, production and yield and to identify the components due to which production is increasing in present scenario. The empirical results of the study reveal that the maximum growth (3.4%) in area was found in case of gram followed by tur (1.5%). There is negative growth in area in urd and moong. The production registered highest growth (5.4%) in case of gram followed by tur (2.2%). The productivity witnessed the highest growth in urd (2.5%) followed by moong (2.3%).
