Research institutions and extension agencies can contribute by:

• Developing climate-resilient varieties: Breeding millets with tolerance to drought, heat, and salinity; improving yield, nutrient content, and pest resistance.
• Conducting field trials and demonstrations: Validating performance under local agro-climatic conditions to ensure reliability for farmers.
• Capacity building and training: Educating farmers on improved cultivation practices, post-harvest management, and value addition.
• Technology transfer and advisory services: Providing timely information on seeds, input use, and market linkages through extension networks.
• Monitoring and feedback: Collecting farmer experiences to guide iterative improvement of varieties and practices.

This integrated approach ensures adoption of resilient, high-yielding millets and supports the objectives of the UP Millets Revival Programme.
