The speaker Mr. Princely spoke about the economic importance of millets and role of millets in health. The speaker also addressed that 2023 will provide an opportunity to increase global production, efficient processing and better use of crop rotation and promote millets as a major component of the food basket. He also stated that millet is rich in dietary fiber, both soluble and insoluble. The insoluble fiber in millet is known as a “prebiotic,” which means it supports good bacteria in your digestive system. This type of fiber is also important for adding bulk to stools, which helps keep you regular and reduces your risk of colon cancer. The event ended successfully with positive feedback and was fruitful to students . .
