Major and minor millets Importance, present status and scope in J&K.pdfSUBHASHKASHYAP10
Millets are a group of highly variable small-seeded grasses, widely grown around the world as cereal crops or grains for human food and as fodder.
Two major millet crops currently growing in India are
Bajra (pearl millet)
Jowar (sorghum),
Other indigenous varieties of “small millets” like
Ragi (Finger millet).
Sanwa (Barnyard Millet)
Proso millet ( Cheena)
Kangni (Foxtail Millet)
why to grow millets
Low input cost: These are good for the soil, have shorter cultivation cycles and require less cost-intensive cultivation.
Climate resilience: These unique features make millets suited for and resilient to India’s varied agro-climatic conditions.
Drought tolerance: Millets are not water or input-intensive, making them a sustainable strategy for addressing climate change and building resilient agri-food systems.
The following attributes are aptly applied to millets.
a. Good for the consumer: they can help overcome some of the biggest
nutritional and health problems (iron, zinc, folic acid, calcium, diabetes);
b. Good for the planet: they have a low water footprint, are able to survive
in the hottest driest climates and will be important in coping with climate change)
c. Good for the farmer: can increase yields up to 3 fold, have multiple uses
(food, fodder, fuel), and are typically the last crop standing in times of drought being a good risk management strategy for farmers.
“Millets are beneficial for the farmers and especially the small and marginal farmers”
Millet crops do not require much water and get matured in a very short period
Superfood: Millets contain plenty of protein, fiber, and minerals
Along with reducing obesity, they also reduce the risk of iabetes, hypertension, and heart-related diseases
Millets are also very beneficial in fighting malnutrition since they are packed with energy as well as protein.”

2. Ready-To-Eat!
• Man lost to technology when he started to buy ready-to-eat chapattis and instant
idly-dosa batter. This can be called as a victory for the food technology.
• They had mortar grinders and grindstones out of which, after several hours of
grinding they prepared and ate delicious idli and chutney. Making chapatti batter
gave exercise to their hands.
• They ploughed their own field; ate the rice, wheat and other grains they reaped
organically; milked their own cows; ate eggs and chicken out of the poultry they
bred. The term Ready-To-Eat entered the dictionaries only in our era!
3. From Our Ancestor’s Grain Barn
• When we looked into the repository of our ancestors, we
came to know that they had been consuming these organic
millets apart from rice and wheat to keep their body and
immune system healthy. To your surprise, all these formed
the varieties of organic food.

faced by our generation is weight management, especially weight loss. This variety of millet
helped our forefathers to fight the bad cholesterol. It is rich in High-Density Lipoproteins
and Phytic Acid that helps in lowering the cholesterol level.
• This organic food also contains antioxidants that help in anti-ageing & help prevent
several skin diseases.
5. 2.Why Pearl Millet To Our Diet?
• 100 grams of Pearl Millet
contains more than 10 grams of proteins
and 1 gram of fibre. These nutrients are
essential for assimilation and reducing
constipation.
• The high-fibre quotient of this variety of
millets can also lower cholesterol levels, fight
against heart diseases, prevent gal and kidney stones. Our doctor’s prescriptions mostly
suggest fibre-rich foods, to stay away from such diseases.
• Pearl Millet balances the sugar level in diabetics. This is due to the presence of high-fibre
content in the millet that helps to slow digestion, releasing the glucose slowly into the
bloodstream.
6. 3.Finger Millet, An Organic Food That
Fascinates You!
• Finger Millet, commonly known
as Ragi, is a predominant source of
Proteins, Minerals, Iron and
Antioxidants.
• Our grandparents had been
consuming this variety of healthy food
to cast away diabetes, cholesterol and
anaemia primarily
• It fights against anxiety, depression, insomnia and migraine.
• The presence of tryptophan(an amino acid) lowers the appetite and helps in weight loss.

7. 4.Sorghum, World’s Fifth Important Cereal!
• People in the past consumed this variety
of healthy food chiefly for its digestive
properties.
• The bran of Sorghum is said to have
antioxidants that prevent the mutation
of healthy cells to cancerous cells.
• With a high level of Magnesium, the absorption of Calcium in the body is monitored. The
presence of these minerals in Sorghum prevents Osteoporosis and Arthritis.
• These two properties must have definitely brought the cereal to a serious level of
importance in the world.
8. 5.Foxtail Millet, From China
• The Foxtail Millets takes its origin from
China’s highly-rich moisture content, where
100 grams of the millet contains 12 grams
of moisture.
• The presence of Iron in the millet
promotes good brain health as Iron supplies
Oxygen to the brain. This can also prevent
Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia.
