    Spreading awareness about millets in India is crucial for promoting their consumption and understanding their nutritional benefits. Millets, including sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet, and foxtail millet, are traditional grains that have been a staple in Indian diets for centuries. However, due to the influx of modern processed foods, their consumption has declined, leading to health issues such as diabetes and obesity. By educating communities about the versatility and health benefits of millets, we can encourage farmers to cultivate them, thereby promoting sustainable agriculture and preserving biodiversity.

    Deliver a compelling lecture at a symposium aimed at empowering individuals to make enlightened decisions regarding their dietary habits, advocating for the incorporation of millets as a cornerstone of a nourishing and eco-friendly lifestyle.
