Millets are highly nutritious cereal crops that have been the traditional crops of our ancestors for ages. However, with the popularization of other cereal crops, we started to lose interest in these nutritious traditional crops irrespective of their numerous health benefits. Further, the absence of adequate processing technologies and government policies have added to this negligence. In addition to this, globalization has introduced foreign cereals to Indian markets. There is a need to emphasize the development and proliferation of millets since these crops are capable of fulfilling nutrient requirements of every section of society and are well suited to the geographical conditions of our country.
