India’s quest for membership of the elite Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) has received a boost with the non-proliferation body deciding to include the issue at its plenary meeting in the third week of June.

The move came following an outreach meeting between India,which was led by Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao,and the NSG troika of The Netherlands,New Zealand and Hungary at The Hague on Monday.

To address this, the government has launched the Rs 11,440 crore ‘Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses’ (2025–26 to 2030–31) — it aims to scale up domestic pulse production to 350 lakh tonnes.
