Millets are a group of highly nutritious grains that were traditionally a staple food for many rural Indians. They provide more protein, fiber, and micronutrients than rice and wheat but have been replaced by those grains due to government policies promoting rice and wheat. Reviving the cultivation and consumption of millets could help address India's growing burden of diet-related diseases while supporting farmers. Millets are easy to incorporate into meals and recipes as a substitute for rice in dishes like upma, pongal, idli, dosa, and more. Their slow digestion makes them ideal for diabetics and those seeking stable blood sugar levels.
Millets For Food And Nutritional SecurityFSTnortheast
Finger millet and foxtail millet are the most important small millets grown in the northeastern region of India. Finger millet is nutritionally superior to rice and wheat, providing proteins, minerals and vitamins to rural tribes. Varietal trials found the local Muskey 5 variety had the highest yields. Foxtail millet is also important for tribes and the PRK 1 variety yielded best in trials. Both millets are highly nutritious compared to rice and wheat.
This document discusses millets, including their origins in Africa and Asia, common varieties, and processing methods. It provides details on the nutrient composition and health benefits of millets. Millets are small-seeded grains that are easily digestible and provide various vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Processing methods like dehulling and pearling can reduce anti-nutrients in millets and improve their nutritional availability.
Millet is a group of small-seeded grasses that are widely grown as cereal crops around the world, especially in developing countries in Asia and Africa. Millet is favored for its high productivity and ability to grow in dry, high temperature conditions with a short season. While millets are grown in many places, their origin is likely in tropical western Africa where the greatest diversity exists today. Millet was an important prehistoric crop in many societies before the rise of other grains like rice.
India leads the world in millet consumption. Millets are highly nutritious and climate-resilient crops that can grow in low rainfall and harsh soil conditions with little to no external inputs. However, millets have been marginalized in India through policies promoting rice and wheat. The document calls for increasing the cultivation and consumption of millets in India in order to address issues of food security, health, nutrition, climate change adaptation and farmer livelihoods.

Climate resilience: These unique features make millets suited for and resilient to India’s varied agro-climatic conditions.
Drought tolerance: Millets are not water or input-intensive, making them a sustainable strategy for addressing climate change and building resilient agri-food systems.
The following attributes are aptly applied to millets.
a. Good for the consumer: they can help overcome some of the biggest
nutritional and health problems (iron, zinc, folic acid, calcium, diabetes);
b. Good for the planet: they have a low water footprint, are able to survive
in the hottest driest climates and will be important in coping with climate change)
c. Good for the farmer: can increase yields up to 3 fold, have multiple uses
(food, fodder, fuel), and are typically the last crop standing in times of drought being a good risk management strategy for farmers.
“Millets are beneficial for the farmers and especially the small and marginal farmers”
Millet crops do not require much water and get matured in a very short period
Superfood: Millets contain plenty of protein, fiber, and minerals
Along with reducing obesity, they also reduce the risk of iabetes, hypertension, and heart-related diseases
Millets are also very beneficial in fighting malnutrition since they are packed with energy as well as protein.”
