Millets Take Centre Stage at Telangana’s Health Week Celebrations

The Telangana Food Safety Department marked Health Week on April 6 by organising a range of awareness activities to promote healthy living and safe food practices.

The day began with an “Eat Right Walkathon”, aimed at encouraging people to adopt balanced and hygienic eating habits. The walk, held from Jal Vihar to Necklace Road, saw participation from officials, students, and the general public.

An “Eat Right Mela” was also conducted at the Nature Cure Hospital in Balkampet, focusing on food safety, hygiene, and nutrition. The event included training sessions for food handlers and recognised businesses that follow good hygiene standards.

A major attraction was the Millet Mela, which highlighted the health benefits of millets and promoted their inclusion in everyday diets. Visitors were also given practical demonstrations on identifying food adulteration, helping them make safer food choices.

Through these initiatives, the state aims to create greater awareness about nutritious diets, encourage the use of millets, and strengthen food safety practices among the public.
