Why is India making such a big deal out of Millets? There is a reason. | EP- 83

Millets have been a staple of the Indian diet, especially in rural India, for years and remain prevalent even today. They have been a large contributor to Indians’ balanced diets. The government of India has identified millets as a safe bet to enhance farmers’ income and as a reliable grain to ensure India’s nutritional and food security. Recently, New Delhi hosted the Global Millets Conference, wherein as many as 100 Indian millet exhibitors and around 100 international buyers from countries around the world participated.
The event was aimed at further promoting and developing the global millet market. According to the International Crop Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, more than 90 million people depend on millets in their diet. While this is already a vast number of people, proponents of millet-production are of the opinion that a greater number of people should include millets to their diet. Millets are versatile grains that grow in half the time as wheat and use 70% less water than rice, providing a multi-fold benefit.
