One of the major rabi pulse crops grown mostly in the country's north is chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Its cultivation begins at 0 in Jammu. However, it is transplanted at 0 in Srinagar. Massive 11 Mha have been planted, yielding zero in total productivity. The yield, to 11 M tons, was 1028 kg/ha. After six years, an attempt was undertaken as part of the ongoing NFSM to combine many strategies for pulse productivity and production, which would result in productivity per unit area. By starting to perform Cluster Front Line Demonstrations (CFLDs) across the nation through KVKs and outscaling agricultural innovations through FLDs, ICAR may take a significant step in the right direction and highlight the unique advantages and value of technology on farmers' fields. The yield that was displayed and the real possible yield based on chickpeas are contrasted using the technological gap. The average extension gap was 692 kg/ha; the maximum was 762 kg/ha in 2019–20 and the minimum was 611 kg/ha in 2021–2022. These data further emphasize the necessity of educating farmers via a variety of channels to encourage the adoption of improved agricultural production technologies in order to reverse the extension gap and it can be concluded that integrated crop management technology in chickpea has been found more productive, profitable.
