The present study was carried out to estimate the growth and instability of area, production and productivity, to measure the relative contribution of area effect, yield effect and interaction effect of major pulses in Tamil Nadu for the period from 1997 to 2016. To examine the overall performances of total pulses were found to have positive growth in area (1.13 %), production (2.92 %) and productivity (1.77 %) for the study period (1997-2016) and it was positive in post NFSM period. The instability in the production of all the pulse crops has increased in the post NFSM as compared to pre NFSM, which indicates there was a significant positive change in area, production and productivity of pulses in Tamil Nadu which may be due to NFSM intervention. The relative contribution of total production of pulses was shared by yield effect (84.32 %) and interaction effect (139.11%) for the overall period. To further increase the area under pulse cultivation and yield of pulses, research and policy support in terms of output price support and procurement should be promoted which will help to increase per capita availability of pulses, reducing import dependence and to achieve self-sufficiency on pulses production.
