Pulses form a vital element of the nutri-diet for the mankind. The present-day concerns worldwide involve attaining food and nutritional security while tackling the issues of climate change and population inflation on the other end. At this juncture, as researchers are laser-focused on enhancing output per unit area and resources, rapid generation advancement (RGA) techniques stand-alone as the attractive and feasible solution. This technique opened a new niche in the pulse breeding with their interventions currently applicable in pigeon pea, chickpea, soybean, pea, clover, common bean, narrow-leaved lupin, and faba bean. The technique proved to enhance the generations while positively reducing the seasonal preferences, cost, and resources utilized for field trials with a regulated tweak in the photoperiod, temperature, carbon dioxide, humidity, and management factors. Thus, this chapter forms a comprehensive understanding of the prospects of rapid generation advancement, its opportunities, and challenges in breeding of pulse crops.
