  7. Comparative Nutritive Value • Protein 1 .5 to 2 times more than Rice • Fibre 40 to 50 times more than Rice • Minerals 5 to 10 times more than Rice • Iron 10 to 20 times more than Rice • Calcium 30 times more than Rice

  8. Facts & figures of Indian agriculture • Net sown area - 1410 Lakh ha • Rain fed area - 850 lakh ha (60%) • Rain fed Districts -177 • Rain fed Agriculture contributes/ provides • 44 % of total food grain production • Lively hood to 50 % of total workforce and 60 % of Cattle population In Lakh ha

  9. WHY TO GROW MILLETS? • Millets can be grown almost throughout the year whereas wheat is season specific • Millets provides multiple security-Food, fodder, health, nutrition, livelihood, ecological whereas paddy and wheat only provides food security • Paddy grown under standing water emits methane gas is hazardous to environment • It can minimize malnutrition in rain fed areas particularly in tribal areas

  10. Promoting millets is the need of today • Very low water requirement ( 30% of sugarcane and Banana • Adaptive to poor soils- 850 lakh ha (60%) • Adaptive to wide range of climate • Good scope for organic farming • Significantly reduce the burden of subsidy on govt. • Pest free crops • Not affected by storage pests • Environmentally safe • Amazing in nutrient content 3-5 times superior than rice and wheat • Millets are climate change compliant crops

  11. Millets – adaptive to climate change • Resist low rainfall • Tolerate heat • Low water requirement • Tolerate drought • Survive and flourish well under adverse climate

  12. Water requirements of crops
