Its area reached a peak at the beginning\r\nof the green revolution in the country, but rapid strides in wheat productivity have encouraged\r\nfarmers in north-western India to substitute wheat for chickpea, causing a fall in its area and\r\nproduction. Nevertheless, the crop soon found a new home in the central and southern states\r\nof the country. It was a big challenge for the chickpea scientists in India’s national program and\r\nat the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-arid Tropics (ICRISAT) to breed short\r\nduration but high yielding varieties and develop a package of practices suitable to the warmer\r\ngrowing conditions. Very soon, the crop recovered area as well as production on the back of rising\r\nproductivity. For ICRISAT, the generous support received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation\r\n(BMGF) was an excellent opportunity to work with its research and development partners in India to\r\naccelerate the productivity growth by following the strategy of Farmer Preferred Varietal Selection\r\n(FPVS). This approach shortens the time needed to popularize the new varieties by exposing them to\r\nfarmers and by backing up the varieties preferred by the farmers through intensive seed production\r\nefforts. This report documents the rapid strides made in taking the new varieties to the farmers\r\nby the FPVS process, and producing and supplying the seeds of varieties preferred by them during\r\n2007-10."^^ .
