CISF Exceeds Millet Consumption Target for Healthy Diet
The CISF is doing a great job promoting healthy eating!
They're encouraging everyone to eat millets, which are nutritious grains.
This started because the UN declared 2023 the 'Year of Millets.'
The government wants all security forces to eat millets, and the CISF is leading the way.
They've taught people about the benefits, involved families, and even trained cooks to make tasty millet dishes.
Millets are now also available in police stores, so it's easier for everyone to enjoy them.
By doing this, the CISF is helping farmers, consumers, and the environment.
CISF units across India have exceeded the target for millet consumption, promoting 'Shri Anna' grains.
The initiative aligns with the MHA's mission to include millets in CAPF diets, aiming for 30% in 2024-25.
CISF implemented a multi-pronged approach, including education, family involvement, and training for cooks.
Millet-based dishes are integrated into government functions, and products are available in police outlets.
The CISF's efforts support the Central government's vision of promoting millets for various benefits.
