The Kanpur-based Indian Institute of Pulse Research (IIPR) has begun its battle against the unbridled pulse price rise. The institute has proposed a project to develop heat-resistant species of gram, which is commonly used as pulses after processing. According to the project head and agricultural scientist at IIPR Dr S K. Chaturvedi, the production of pulses in the country had been on a decline for quite some time now and one of the prime reasons for the descent had been the recent phenomena of global warming. “The conventional species of plant are not able to withstand the rising temperatures, resulting in lower harvests and reduced acreage,” he added.
