Millet, the nutri-rich and climate-smart grain, has been part and parcel of Odisha’s agricultural landscape, especially in the arid and semi-arid areas. They have been a traditional staple in the tribal, and to a great extent, coastal Odisha. In order to address the entangled social issues of concern relating to irrigation facilities (or lack of it), changing climatic condition, alarmingly skewed malnourished demography, the Government of Odisha has taken up millet promotion in a mission mode through its Special Programme for Promotion of Millets in Tribal Areas of Odisha, Odisha Millets Mission (OMM) in 14 tribal districts, to revive millets from farm to plates.
