We are honoured to invite all participants to the conference scheduled on December 5th & 6th, 2023 at Sri Devaraj Urs Academy of Higher Education and Research Kolar, Karnataka.
Preamble
Millets possess immense potential in our battle against climate change and poverty and provide food, nutrition, fodder and livelihood security. Recognizing the nutritional value of Millets, the Government of India revalorised Millets as “Nutri-cereals” in 2018.In this context, it is significant to note that the proposal of Government of India to United Nations for declaring 2023 as International Year of Millets was supported by 72 countries and United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) declared 2023 as International Year of Millets with a view to popularize millets throughout the globe and inspire all stakeholders involved in Production, Processing, Value addition, Marketing and Distribution. The value of millets are evident in their relevance to the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of food security, nutrition and sustainability. In this background, ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra, UHS (B), SDUAHER, Kolar, ICAR-ATARI Zone-XI and COH, Kolar have taken a step forward in organizing International Conference on Millets, which will bring together experts to explore the potential of mighty millets for sustainable food systems, biodiversity conservation and climate resilience. The conference will focus on interdisciplinary approaches and cross-sectoral collaboration to promote millet-based solutions for global food and nutritional security.
