  1. ALL INDIA COORDINATED SMALL MILLETS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Project Coordinating Unit Gandhi Krishi Vigyan Kendra Bangalore - 560 065

  2. SMALL MILLETS :Food Crops of Arid, Tribal & Hill Areas BARNYARD MILLET FINGER MILLET FOXTAIL MILLET PROSO MILLET LITTLE MILLET KODO MILLET

  3. SMALL MILLETS Crops of antiquity Suitable for dry lands & important in hill and tribal agriculture Food security of disadvantaged regions Require less water, mature early and cultivated in scarcity conditions Highly Resilient in adapting to different ecological conditions Ideal crops for climate change and contingency plantings Unique nutritional properties – high fiber, quality protein & mineral composition Nutritional security of disadvantaged groups

  4. ) GLOBAL SCENARIO 15 m ha and India’s share is 20% Finger millet: 25 countries with 4 - 5 m ha for brewarage & food; India’s share is 40% Foxtail millet: 4 - 5 m ha, China tops and CMS based hybrids with high yield potential Proso millet: 3 - 4 m ha, mostly in Eurasian countries Barnyard millet: 0.3 - 0.4 m ha mostly in India and Japan Little millet & Kodo millet: Heritage crops of India Export potential – as bird feed and organic millets worth of 100 crore, India’s share is negligible

  5. AREA, PRODUCTION AND YIELD OF SMALL MILLETS IN INDIA DURING 2005-06

  6. ALL INDIA COORDINATED SMALL MILLETS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT • Established in 1986 • Head Quarters at UAS, Bangalore • 13 AICRP centres and 20 voluntary centres located all over India. • Target crops - Finger millet, Foxtail millet, Barnyard millet, Proso millet, Little millet and Kodo millet • Focussed on developing appropriate production technologies to meet regional needs. • Work is multidisciplinary and applied in nature

  7. AICSMIP Centers

  8. Varieties released during 1986 to 2009

  9. POPULARIZATION OF HYV’s

  10. TECHNOLOGY FOR ORGANIC PRODUCTION Application of 100% N through poultry manure out yields (18%) the recommended package of practices in finger millet Application of 100% N (vermicompost and chullu cake, 50% each) yields on par to inorganic fertilizers application in barnyard millet

  11. Thrust Areas • There is a need to strengthen basic and strategic research especially in molecular biology to support crop improvement • Technology delivery in tribal and hill areas to be strengthened • Intensification of research on crop improvement for grain and fodder quality • Strengthening of research on grain processing and value addition to improve demand for small millets
