What are the key drivers and challenges in the ongoing revival of millets in the Indian Himalayan Region, and how are policies, NGOs, and grassroots innovations contributing to restoring millet cultivation?
The revival of millets in the Indian Himalayan Region is driven by their nutritional value, climate resilience, and potential for sustainable agriculture. However, challenges include low yields, limited market access, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of awareness about their benefits.
