Ancient scriptures such as the Rigveda and Atharvaveda mention several varieties of millets, highlighting their ritual, economic, and nutritional importance. Over centuries, their prominence declined with the rise of rice and wheat cultivation, especially during the colonial and post-Green Revolution periods. In recent years, however, millets have re-emerged as climate-resilient and health-promoting crops, earning global recognition. Millets are rich in fiber, protein, iron, calcium, and antioxidants. They have a low glycemic index, making them ideal for modern lifestyle disorders like diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and hidden hunger. Millets require minimal water, thrive in poor soils, and are naturally pest-resistant making them crucial for climate-resilient agriculture. They also empower small farmers and promote biodiversity. The renewed focus on millets echoes the Vedic ideals of harmony with nature, sustainability, and balanced nutrition.
