MBF Launches Millet Wellness Walkathon and 'Model Millet Mother' Awards
Imagine a group called MBF that wants everyone to be healthier by eating millets, which are tiny, healthy grains.
They have a special program where homemakers learn to cook yummy and healthy food using millets, called the 'Millet Mothers Program.'
The best cooks in this program can win a big prize and become special mentors to teach others.
MBF is also organizing a big walk, called the 'Millet Wellness Walkathon,' in Hyderabad where lots of people will walk, do yoga, and learn about staying healthy.
They believe that eating millets can make families and the planet healthier.
They are inviting everyone, including doctors and businesses, to join their mission to spread health and good food.
MBF has launched the Mega Millet Wellness Walkathon set for December 7, 2025, in Hyderabad, aiming for over 1,000 participants.
The organization also announced 'Model Millet Mother' awards, offering a ₹1,00,000 cash prize to two exceptional participants from the Millet Mothers Program.
The Millet Mothers Program trains homemakers in preparing innovative millet-based recipes, with graduates showcasing their skills.
The Walkathon will feature activities like walking, yoga, meditation, health talks, free check-ups, and a millet breakfast.
MBF aims to promote millets as a path to wellness, sustainability, and empowerment, envisioning a nationwide movement for better health.
