District-Level Millet Festival Held in Krishnagiri

A district-level millet festival was recently inaugurated in Krishnagiri by the District Collector to encourage the cultivation and use of millets. The event was organised to raise awareness about the health benefits of millets and to promote their use in everyday diets.

Several stalls were arranged at the festival where farmers, women’s self-help groups and local entrepreneurs displayed different types of millets and millet-based food products. Visitors were able to see and taste a variety of traditional dishes prepared using millets.

Officials said the festival also aimed to support millet farmers by creating more market opportunities for their produce. Such events help promote traditional grains that are nutritious, climate-friendly and beneficial for both farmers and consumers.
