Introduction

The previous four decades of Indian agriculture went through the phases of green revolution, self sufficiency and favorable government policies to promote fine cereals. This has resulted in gradual reduction in the consumption of millets (sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet, foxtail millet, kodo millet, proso millet and barnyard millet) as staple foods in arid and semi-arid regions. In the process, not only the food habits changed but health problems have cropped up in the fast paced urban lives and rural households. Now, with increased awareness on health and nutrition, millets are resurfacing on the plates of the urban as well as rural people to ward off life style diseases such as diabetes and obesity. With unique advantages in their nutritional profile coupled with lower costs of production, millets have become raw materials for innovation in food processing, nutritious food formulations and health planning.

With this background, the main focus of this Global consultation is on promotion of millets for enhancing health and nutritional security and thereby to enhance health of people. Time has now come for projecting our traditional wealth in millets which are grown in dryland regions of our country.
