In 2018, India celebrated the year of millet and after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a proposal to the United Nations to emphasize the importance of encouraging millets as healthy food, the world is now celebrating the International Year of Millets. This all happened because of the PM’s efforts, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said.
She was speaking after inaugurating the millet conclave-2022 and exhibition, organised at University of Agriculture Sciences in Raichur on Saturday. The programme was jointly organised by UAS Raichur and NABARD.
