Abstract	Abstract This study investigates the trends and growth rates of area, production, and productivity of grams in India using time series data spanning from 1950-51 to 2023-24, sourced from the Government of India's Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare. The analysis employs year-on-year growth rate calculations and trend observations to understand the historical performance of gram cultivation in the country. Key findings reveal fluctuating trends in area, significant growth in production, particularly in recent decades, and a consistent upward trajectory in productivity. These trends are examined in the context of India's agricultural development, food security imperatives, and policy implications for sustaining and enhancing gram production. The study contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of a crucial pulse crop in India, providing valuable insights for researchers and policymakers.
