Abstract
Millets, as we know, belong to the category of drought-tolerant, nutrient-rich grains primarily grown in arid and semi-arid regions of India and other countries. Due to their high protein, vitamin, and mineral content, millets are considered nutritionally superior to wheat, rice, and other grains. Consequently, in order to raise awareness about the nutritional and health benefits of millets, the Food and Agriculture Organization and the United Nations have designated 2023 as the International Year of Millets, or IYM2023. Moreover, the Indian government played a significant role in this designation, as they suggested it to the United Nations, and with the support of other countries, this initiative became a reality
