| الوصف: | Millets are known for ages for their high nutritional value and adaptability to harsh environments and serve as vital grain crops, particularly in small and marginal lands. There has been an increased awareness about millets in the recent times. India, as the largest producer and second-largest exporter of millets, is set to play a pivotal role globally. The increased awareness has, thus, created a huge demand for these crops. However, despite huge demand and their nutritional importance, millet farming faces multifaceted challenges. The review presents a comprehensive analysis of seed production in minor millets and potential crops in India, with special reference to the Himalayan states and underscores the pressing need for improved crop production practices and incentives to boost millet seed production. Special attention is paid toward the north-eastern region of India, where initiatives such as farmer-participatory seed production are fostering millet cultivation. Case studies from Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya exemplify successful endeavours to promote millet farming in these regions. The review advocates for measures to incentivize millet seed production, particularly in the Himalayan states and north-eastern region, to ensure sustained growth and fortify food security and nutrition in India. |
