In present era problems like population incensement, food insecurity, loss of genetic diversity, challenging environmental etc. are directly or indirectly becoming huge obstacles in achieving the goal of providing every person daily basic food requirement. These conditions have put humankind in dangerous situation like Malnutrition. About 14.8% of Indian population has been affected by malnutrition. Although government is making policies and plans to fight against malnutrition but their efforts are insufficient to wipe out root cause of this problem. Therefore there is an urgent need of development of new scientific approaches and methods to battle against malnutrition. A big population of India relies on vegetarian sources of food and pulses are one of the main constituent of Indian vegetarian diet. Pulses provide good quality of protein and increasing the production of pulses in country will definitely be a great stride to fight malnutrition. Increase in population has made pulses demand high and because of its low productivity and importance in Indian diet caused big spike in their prices. Imports of pulses have been increased due to its insufficient availability in the country and this is causing harm to our economy. Good quality of protein is inaccessible for poor people and malnutrition showing its effect on the population of all age groups. Therefore techniques like mutation breeding are highly needed to be introduced in these situations. | Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci 2019 8 5 1068-1096 EXCELLENT PUBLISHERS International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 05 2019 Journal homepage http www.ijcmas.com Review Article https doi.org 10.20546 ijcmas.2019.805.125 Mutation Breeding in Pulses to Curb Malnutrition Mohammad Danish S.P.S.
