Millet is a healthy grain that is high in vitamins, minerals, and fibre. It is also gluten-free and has a low glycemic index, making it a suitable diet for persons with gluten intolerance or diabetes. Millet is an important crop for small farmers, in addition to its nutritional importance. Unlike rice or wheat, millet is drought-resistant and requires relatively little water to thrive. This makes it an attractive crop for farmers in dry locations where water scarcity is a big concern. Furthermore, millet has a short growth season and is easy to cultivate, making it an appealing alternative for small farmers with low resources. Efforts have been made in recent years to boost millet productivity and promote its consumption. The Millet Mission, initiated by the Indian government in 2016, is one such project. Another endeavour to increase millet intake is the "Millets for Health" programme, which aims to raise knowledge of millet's nutritional benefits. The initiative includes the creation of millet-based recipes as well as the installation of millet-based food processing plants, which can aid in the creation of a market for millet-based products.
