During last five decades the country has witnessed about its production reduced day by day due to avoidance of this finger millet crop. Now a day the value of this crop is very important due to awareness of people. The International Year of Millets (IYM 2023) was designated by the United Nations General Assembly at its 75th session in March 2021.

Millets are tolerant of climatic fluctuations and can be grown on arid lands with few inputs. As a result, they are the perfect way for nations to boost national independence and lessen their dependency on imported cereal grains.

Additionally, millets' potential to open up new, sustainable market prospects for producers will be highlighted, as will the Year's efforts to promote their sustainable production. A number of important Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), have been intimately associated with the achievement of millets
