How millet millionaires of Hyderabad are reviving these humble grains

Millets have come full circle in India. For centuries, they formed the backbone of Indian diets. After staying away from the scene for decades, they are making a comeback onto our plates. They have become the hottest ‘supergrain’ in town. Once considered inferior, millets are being touted as a powerhouse of health, economic, and environmental benefits. And Hyderabad has become a leading hub of this millet-makeover movement.

I have been consuming Health Sutra's millet flakes with milk they are great especially pearl millet flashes.

[@amodpataskar5673]

States and central government should include this in free food grains scheme first

[@shivakrishna1167]

Thanks to current central government many such great initiative has turned successful - example One District One product...!!

The GOI has no place in business. India's needs a thriving private sector. Let the GOI focus on the judiciary.

[@MilletsofIndia]

​@@tubelz Infact it was Govt of India which proposed IYM2023 in FAO and UNGA approved it, which has benefitted so many countries. It is the Central and State Governments both , who have allocated Tax payer's money appropriately to promote consumption and growth of Millets through various schemes and supported many startups, whereby Farmers have got better prices. MSP has nearly increased by 30 to 100 % in last 10 years for Millets. Request to Contact CSIR- IIMR, Hyderabad to get complete knowledge, Sir.

@@MilletsofIndia Thank you for the information. This is about economic fundamentals that will propel India to become a high income country. The GOI has a very limited budget. It must prioritize spending on core services: judiciary and law enforcement, education, infrastructure. Second, India must move towards a free market economy. Without economic freedom India will remain a poor country.

[@MilletsofIndia]

@@tubelz India was very much down and now 5th worldwide and soon to be 3rd. Secondly, Government can spend only what is getting collected by Taxes and by borrowing. Thanks to honest Tax payers and strict enforcement combined with intelligence that those many of those evading taxes are under net .What is required now importantly is that all those who are enjoying freedom and all facilities in our country honestly pay taxes when they are actually coming in that bracket.

[@tubelz]

@@MilletsofIndia Thank you, but per capita income is around $2700.00 and nearly half of the workforce is engaged in farming. The overwhelming majority of Indians are still very poor. For India to become a high income country on a per capita basis major economic reforms are needed, as well fiscal prudence.

Great news........Informative video Millets is must

[@samg7123]

Introduce this millet in schools. Young kids will get healthy food and thier taste bud will get used to I. When they they grow up they will continue eating it

[@CPAHarshi]

Its great but now rural poor people can't afford millets who consumed it earlier so there are shifting towards fair price shops (Ration) rice and wheat , while urban india is getting healthy rural india getting unhealthy , government need to step in and set msp and buy millets and distribute them in fair price shops (Ration)

[@vasu_devan]

Govt has to reduce GST on millet products n even GST for millet only menus can be cut in online order app

[@nitinpatel1039]

Thoda credit to isme central govt ko bhi jta he commies laughed when pm made it one of theme during g20, now India own food getting global recognition

[@palashkurvey4223]

Conclusion should be more focused towards positivity. Your conclusionl lessened the impact of whole video.

[@indian9632]

Gov should increase the tax on junk food and decrease it on millets and other healthy food

[@rakadus]

Increase tax on sugar to the same level as tobacco.

[@MilletsofIndia]

@@indian9632 FSSAI is soon coming out with draft notification which shall maje it mandatorily to mention Salt, Sugar and Fat content on bold reasonable size font on all packaged goods. Also have incorporated healthy Millets and Millets based foods in many Govt.schemes to make a healthier India.

@theprint Health Sutra founder’s name is Sai Krishna and not Sai KrishNAN. Telugu people don’t end names with ‘AN’ unlike Tamil names. Please respect people and their ethnicity.

[@amodpataskar5673]

Presenter needs to have some proteins and fats 😂

[@rajx7120]

Good. But these millionaires paying taxes or not?

[@patmclaughlin107]

They do. These guys run large companies.

[@rakadus]

This is India of 2024, not 1974.

[@rajx7120]

​@@patmclaughlin107Big farmers still not paying any tax.
