Studies were conducted in the villages of Chachawali in the Niwari district of the rainfed Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh during 2020–21; Anora in the Lalitpur district, and Semra and Bilati Karke in the Jhansi district of the rainfed Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh from 2021–22. There were 15 front-line demonstrations in Chachawali, Anora, Semra, and Bilati Karke villages of the lentil variety IPL 316: five in Chachawali, five in Anora, two in Semra, and three in Bilati Karke. Each farmer had the opportunity to participate in a demonstration on a one-hectare plot of land. The goal was to improve lentil cultivation technology. Improved technologies included, among other things, high yielding variety, balanced fertilizer use (based on soil tests), and integrated disease and pest management. Chachawali, Anora, Bilati Karke, and Semra villages, in that order, got an average of 1235, 1285, 1408.33, and 1462.5 kg ha-1 from the demonstrations. There was an increase of 27.58, 23.58, 15.84, and 27.37% over the local yield. The average extension gap in Chachawali, Anora, Semra and Bilati Karke village was 2.65, 2.45, 3.13, and 1.92 q/ha, respectively, while the technology gap were 2.45, 2.15, 0.38, and 0.92q/ha, with the technology index being 16.33, 14.33, 2.5, and 6.11 percent in that order. The case study produced an average net return of Rs. 22525.9, 30112.0, 30247.0, and 3565.0 from the villages of Semra, Chachawali, Anora, and Bilati Karke, in that order, while the mean B:C ratio was 1.3, 2.1, 2.0 and 2.2. The data showed that superior varieties, packaging, and processing used in the frontline demonstration programme have contributed to increase in pulse productivity and profitability in the region.
