Miracle grain mil-lets (jowar, sorghum, bajra, ragi) have been traditionally a favoured food for generations. However, the trend in the previous decade saw a preference for “other cereals”, leading to a surge of options such as rice, wheat and lentils.
Recently, India’s patronage, along with the support of 72 more countries, led to the landmark announcement of 2023 as the International Year of Millets, by the United Nations General Assembly. With this resolution, a focussed approach has been resorted to by making it essentially a people’s movement with a multi-stakeholder consultative approach, engaging several partners like farmers, consumers, markets, states, corporates and the government departments.

Sizeable contributing states in India are Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra, in the same order.
