The State holds flagship in quality and production with trusted brand 'Jawahar Seed'. The world famous Jawahar Soybean crop varieties are being grown over 92% area at national level. For the benefit of resource poor farmers, development of short duration hybrids for enhancing cropping intensity has been the priority area. Utilization of fallow land, hi-tech horticulture for off-season production of vegetables, integrated farming system for enhancing nutritional and food security of small and marginal farmers, awareness for organic farming, resource conservation, development of suitable mechanisation for timely harvesting with added value of the produce, are the major achievements that helped in enhancing socio-economic status of farmers. JNKVV holds the top leadership in pulse and oilseed production at national level.
