Millets<\/strong> are short-duration, small-grained cereals that thrive in warm weather and are known for their resilience in less fertile and drought-prone areas. Essential to dry-land agriculture, millets require minimal external inputs and are highly valued for their nutritional benefits. Today, millets are increasingly recognised as nutri-cereals<\/strong> and are central to discussions on Food Security and Climate-Resilient Agriculture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article aims to study in detail various types of millets, including Jowar (Sorghum), Bajra (Bull Rush Millet), Ragi (Finger Millet), and Barley<\/strong>, along with their growth conditions, production, and distribution across India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
