FINAL CIRCULAR

Invitation

Pulses are the important component of food chain and feed system across the globe as they contribute immensely to food and nutritional security in a sustainable manner through the diversification of agricultural production system. No wonder, therefore, specific cereal-food legume contributions have long been served as a staple food for majority of population worldwide. Civilization in Asia has survived on the staple diet of food legumes with wheat or rice, in Central and South America with maize, and in Africa with maize or rice and millets. Today, world bodies confirmed Indian food system (mostly, rice/chapati-dal) is more wholesome and balanced. Therefore, the importance of pulses in vegetarian diets is noteworthy. Food legumes also supplement nutritionally rich fodder and feed for ruminants. With inherent and proven capability for SNF to nourish, food legumes do introduce combined nitrogen in the cropping system, with low carbon footprints and enrich the soil with organic carbon. The food legumes are, thus, suitable in sustaining the production system and human/animal health in an eco-friendly manner.

Because of the importance of pulses as a global food, 10 February is designated as World Pulses Day(WPD) by FAO of the United Nations. This further aims at bringing global attention to activities related to promotion of pulses. These developments, in fact have gained momentum after FAO’s announcement of 2016 as the International Year of Pulses. With an aim in achieving food and nutritional security, 2nd WPD has a global significance. Aiming further at realizing twin national priorities of Self-sufficiency in pulses and Doubling farm income by 2022, India has made a history through a giant leap in pulses production front(24 million tonnes during 2016-19).Focusing at 32 MT, the projected pulses requirements by 2030 (and 39 MT by 2050), India poised to realize an annual growth rate of 2.2%. Further impetus is required for gaining stability in pulses sector through an all-round efforts and strategic steps in research, generating innovations, its dissemination and commercialization, along with capacity building. Scaling in productivity of pulse further by at least an

average of about 80-100 kg/ha during every 5-year interval is mooted to accomplish 1 tonne (t) per ha by 2025 and 1.4 t/ha by 2050 which is possible and doable through genetic gains via novel technologies. Despite mammoth opportunities, growing concern in recent times to offset in rising food prices, global climate change, and energy crisis have ushered in new challenges for scientists and policy makers. Contrary to marginalization of pulses in the wake of the green revolution in 1960s, time has come for collective deliberations on these climate smart crops to decide the future course of actions/mile stones/road maps furtherthrough global efforts. To achieve these objectives, the Indian Society of Pulse Research and Development (ISPRD), Kanpur and ICAR-Indian Institute of Pulses Research (ICAR-IIPR), Kanpur in association with Indian Council of

Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi planto organize an International Conference (ICPulse2020) on “Pulses as the Climate Smart Crops: Challenges and Opportunities” at International Convention Centre (Minto Hall), Bhopal during February 10-12, 2020. Following deliberations/discussions among global fraternity in the commodity, new heights could be achieved with certain desired stability in the sector in time to come. The Conference will also proved an exceptional opportunity to scientists, researchers, policy makers, extension workers, traders and entrepreneurs to respond and discuss various challenges and issues; and the strategies both short-term and long-term to counter these as envisaged in UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Besides long-term sustainability of global agricultural production system through diversification & intensification of crop/farming systems with pulses, the conference will address the critical gaps in understanding the production constraints, issues of eradication of protein malnutrition, application of modern genetic tools and biotechnological interventions for pulses improvement and in-depth insight for

underline principles of adaptation of pulses to diverse climatic condition. Policy issue, PPP, ICT and social networking will also be part of the discussion in the conference sessions through discrete and unique theme areas. The Conference will comprise of well-structured technical sessions with keynote lectures by distinguished scientists along with other oral and poster presentations. The technical session will also include a number of parallel sessions. Poster exhibition will be arranged on major themes (with a provision for Best Poster Award on each theme). Besides these, distinguished scientists and workers in pulses will be given due recognition through various awards. On this great occasion, the organizing committee extends a wholeheartedly invitation for your active participation to make this symposium a grand success.
