Mysuru: A District-level Millets Festival (Siridhanya Habba) and Millets Producers and Vendors Workshop was organised at P. Kalingarao Ganamantapa in Dasara Exhibition Grounds premises here this morning.
Dr. Pushpa Amarnath, Vice-Chairperson of the Karnataka State Guarantee Schemes Implementation Authority, who spoke after inaugurating the event, said, “‘Siri’ means richness, prosperity and a grain with such richness is essential for everyone. From rice to every millet is rich in nutrients and calcium. With globalisation, usage of millets had come down, however, again millets are gaining popularity.”
