Implement millet revival programme across UP: CM.
Aug 04, 2023

Asserting that UP can play a big role in export of millets from the country, chief minister Yogi Adityanath has issued directions to authorities concerned to step up the millets revival programme across the state.
 
'The state government is funding the Uttar Pradesh Millets Revival Programe that includes a detailed action plan to spread awareness about millets (Sri Anna) among the public. It not only aims to promote millet-based recipes but also seeks to raise awareness about their nutritional value,' a government spokesperson said on Tuesday. He said the government intends to take a step further by conducting consumer awareness programmes in all districts and incorporating millets in school curriculum.
'To ensure effective implementation, the government is planning to provide training to teachers across the state to familiarise them with the significance of millets. By doing so, they hope to create a widespread positive impact on millet consumption and nutritional awareness among the people,' the state government said in a statement.
'As many as 200 teachers will be given special training across the state. Through these, other teachers of the state will also be linked to the millets awareness programme and will be trained to use Sri Anna, dispel the myths related to it and spread awareness. Different types of competitions on millets will be organised,' he said.
