Drought is one of the major limiting factor in increasing the productivity of chickpea, as the crop is mainly grown under the residual soil moisture conditions under rainfed ecosystem. Hence, to identify most drought tolerant and productive lines in BC1F3 population, drought tolerance indices were computed by taking yield under irrigated and rainfed conditions. The population was developed by crossing a drought tolerant genotype ICC-13124 as recurrent parent and susceptible parent WR-315 is also donor for wilt resistance. Totally 224 BC1F3 families were subjected for evaluation under irrigated and rainfed situation to identify high yielding and drought tolerant lines based on drought tolerance indices. A drought tolerance index ‘Drought and Productivity Index (DPI)’ was computed along with other drought tolerance indices viz; DSI, TOL or TDS, MP, DTE, YI, RR, GMP and HM. Analysis of variance indicated presence of significance differences between families for seed yield under IR and RF as well as for drought tolerance indices. The highly significant and positive correlation of YIR and YRF with DPI, MP, YI, GMP and HM, indicates that selection could be effective for high DPI, MP, YI, GMP and HM. Superior genotypes can be selected by combining two to three indices and it may leads to bias in the selection if considering single index. Hence, recently reported Drought and Productivity Index (DPI) alone can be effectively used in identifying most productive and drought tolerant genotypes. Based on these indices out of 224 families 10 families were found superior and among these three families viz; BC1F3-4-1, BC1F3-6-3 and BC1F3-8-7 were found highly superior with respect to YIR, YRF and DPI compared to both the parents as well as checks.
