&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bajra, jowar and ragi &amp;ndash; millets usually consumed in India &amp;ndash; have almost four times the iron contained in brown rice, and three times the folic acid per serving.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The year 2023 was declared as the International Year of Millets by the United Nations General Assembly. #IYOM2023, as the Food and Agriculture Organization calls it, will be an opportunity to raise awareness about the nutritional benefits of millets and its suitability for cultivation under adverse conditions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Millets are hardy grains suitable for semi-arid conditions, making them the perfect crop for areas where water management is a concern. Most varieties contain more protein than rice, and they are superior to both rice and wheat in terms of iron content.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India was instrumental in bringing international recognition for these crops. Celebrating the launch of the initiative, Minister for Agriculture Narendra Singh Tomar said on November 24, at a pre-launch event for the International Year of Millets 2023, that the focus would provide an opportunity to increase global production, efficient processing and better use of crop rotation, and promote millets as a major component of the food basket.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While some varieties like jowar are a staple in diets in rural India, in many parts of the world millets are used as animal feed or birdseed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But despite India having a long tradition of consuming millets, consumption of pearl millet or bajra fell by 67% in urban and 59% in rural areas between 1972-&amp;rsquo;73 and 2004-&amp;rsquo;05. Another study estimates that jowar, bajra, maize and ragi went from contributing 23% of the cereal requirements of Indians in 1983 to 6% in 2011.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bajra, jowar and ragi &amp;ndash; millets usually consumed in India &amp;ndash; have almost four times the iron contained in brown rice, and three times the folic acid per serving.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The year 2023 was declared as the International Year of Millets by the United Nations General Assembly. #IYOM2023, as the Food and Agriculture Organization calls it, will be an opportunity to raise awareness about the nutritional benefits of millets and its suitability for cultivation under adverse conditions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Millets are hardy grains suitable for semi-arid conditions, making them the perfect crop for areas where water management is a concern. Most varieties contain more protein than rice, and they are superior to both rice and wheat in terms of iron content.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India was instrumental in bringing international recognition for these crops. Celebrating the launch of the initiative, Minister for Agriculture Narendra Singh Tomar said on November 24, at a pre-launch event for the International Year of Millets 2023, that the focus would provide an opportunity to increase global production, efficient processing and better use of crop rotation, and promote millets as a major component of the food basket.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While some varieties like jowar are a staple in diets in rural India, in many parts of the world millets are used as animal feed or birdseed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But despite India having a long tradition of consuming millets, consumption of pearl millet or bajra fell by 67% in urban and 59% in rural areas between 1972-&amp;rsquo;73 and 2004-&amp;rsquo;05. Another study estimates that jowar, bajra, maize and ragi went from contributing 23% of the cereal requirements of Indians in 1983 to 6% in 2011.&lt;/p&gt;

In 2023, global spotlight on millets, traditional to many Indian diets -Nushaiba Iqbal

-IndiaSpend.com Bajra, jowar and ragi – millets usually consumed in India – have almost four times the iron contained in brown rice, and three times the folic acid per serving. The year 2023 was declared as the International Year of Millets by the United Nations General Assembly. #IYOM2023, as the Food and Agriculture Organization calls it, will be an opportunity to raise awareness about the nutritional benefits of millets and its suitability for cultivation under adverse conditions.
