Union Minister Urges Scientists to Develop High-Quality Millet Seeds for Farmers

Imagine tiny grains called millets, which are very healthy and good for the earth.

A big leader in India, the Agriculture Minister, told scientists that they need to make the seeds for these grains even better.

The goal is to help farmers grow more millets easily and sell them for more money, making it a super popular crop.

One state, Odisha, is already doing a great job growing more millets and even buys them from farmers at a good price.

They also give millets to kids in school for their meals!

The minister wants other states to do the same because eating millets is healthy and good for the soil.

Millets are also a good choice because they don't need a lot of chemicals that can harm us and the planet.

The minister promised to help states do more to grow and promote these healthy grains, especially helping women farmers who are great at growing them.
