PM Modi attends ‘millet-lunch’ at Parliament

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a special lunch for members of the parliament. The millet-only lunch was hosted by Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar.

In the face of the global food crisis, Prime Minister Modi has advocated for the use of millets. And it was a proposal by India that led the UN to declare 2023 as the International Year of Millets

The initiative aims to raise awareness of the benefits of millets, including their nutritional, and health benefits. It also aims to highlight millets’ suitability for cultivation under adverse conditions.

The luncheon boasted an extensive menu, including dishes such as ragi idli and ragi dosa, bajra and jowar khichdi, and bajra kheer, among others. Even the rotis were made out of ragi and jawar. Special chefs were brought in to prepare the delicacies.
