Millets are considered as smart crops that are resilient to climate stress and have nutritional advantages. Odisha’s initiative in millets, from farm to plates, has been intervening through four verticals in production (with new agronomic practices), processing, marketing and consumption (includes awareness campaigns and also through inclusion in nutritional programmes). Odisha also started procurement of mandia/ragi (finger millet) since 2018-19. These have important lessons for other states in India as also elsewhere. But, more importantly, the next logical step for Odisha, in line with the larger thinking behind its millets mission for conserving biodiversity, for greater climate resilience, and for better nutritional outcomes, is to include other millets like suan/gurji (little millet), kangu (foxtail millet), kodo/kodua (kodo millet), khira (barnyard millet), bajra (pearl millet) and janha/jowar (sorghum) in procurement and public distribution. Besides, their inclusion in supplementary nutritional interventions should be tied to carefully designed studies to evaluate outcomes.
