Govt is looking at ways to dispose off pulses from the buffer stock to ensure that inventories do not rise much beyond the targeted 2 million tonne. Officials said to Human Resource Development Ministry and woman and child welfare ministry to buy pulses from buffer stock for their mid-day meal and anganwadis. Govt already has 2 million tonne of pulses in its buffer, of which about 0.1 million tonne is from the 2015-16 (Jul-Jun) rabi season procurement for the current crop year is still on therefore early disposal of old crop is important to avoid wastage due to spoilage and contamination.
