Our Programs

Awareness and promotion

We have full‑time dedicated staff working across various districts in millet‑growing regions. They provide extension services to farmers and enhance their knowledge in:

• Seed preparation

• Seed sowing

• Land preparation

• Water, bio‑fertilizer, and nutrient management

• Processing and marketing

Training and capacity building

We provide training across the millet value chain. Farmers receive guidance on adopting better cultivation methods, while farmers’ groups, Farmer Producer Organizations (FBOs), and Self‑Help Groups (SHGs) are trained in collective decision‑making for farming. We also organize training programs for millet processors and business entrepreneurs to enhance their processing and marketing skills.

We are working with various private players to market the millet produced and to create a forward supply chain for farmers. We are striving to ensure a consistent supply of raw materials in the desired varieties an ongoing challenge in the millet sector.
