Pulses processing is a very huge business in India. In India, split of pulses are prepared called as “Dal” or “Dhal”. Regdram cultivating farmers are demotivated as there net returns are low due to continuous market fluctuation in prices of Redgram and this is becoming the reason for decrease in area of cultivation under Redgram. Milling pulses improves bio-availability of nutrients and Partial or complete removal of antinutritional and toxic compounds making it nutritive for human consumption. Mini dal mill is low investment enterprise to improve the net income of farmers. The present study concluded that the average gross income through sale of Redgram is Rs 41.3/KG without processing and Rs 63/KG with processing. The profitability is more with the processing of Redgram. The cost benefit ratio is 1:1.18 without processing and 1:1.80 with processing. Hence farmers must be educated to develop entrepreneurship and promote value added Redgram using mini dal mill.
