Why Millets In India?

This video from the 'Down To Earth' YouTube channel explains the significance of millets in Indian agriculture, and why they are making a comeback. The video highlights the adaptability, affordability, benefits and high nutritional value of millets.

A Timeless Grain With A Rich History

Millets, also termed as miracle grains or crops of the future, have a rich history of cultivation spanning thousands of years in Africa and Asia, making them the “ancient grains”. These grains are highly valued for their exceptional nutritional properties and versatility. They were a staple food for many communities before the advent of modern agriculture and have been used in various forms, including porridge, flatbreads, and fermented beverages.

Poshan Abhiyan mission

The cultivation of millets declined with the introduction of modern grains like rice and wheat, but these have seen a rebound in recent years due to their numerous health benefits and sustainable farming practices.In recognition of its nutritional value, the Indian government announced 2018 as the National Year of Millets and recognised them as Nutri-cereals under the "Poshan Abhiyan mission". India successfully advocated for the declaration of 2023 as the "International Year of Millets", which received support from 72 countries and significantly boosted Indian farmers.
