The Kudumbashree mission will take out ‘Nammatha Theevanaga’ (What we can eat), a State-level yatra to promote millets in connection with the ongoing International Year of Millets.
The yatra, that will cover all 14 districts from September 18 to October 6, is being organised by the Attappady Adivasi Comprehensive Development Project, a Kudumbashree initiative in Attappady, the centre of millet cultivation in the State.
It is being held as follow-up to a seminar organised by the Attappady Adivasi Comprehensive Development Project and the Kudumbashree in May, to increase millet production in Attappady, improve sales, and take the Attappady millet products to other parts of the country.
