Based on India’s proposal UN declared 2023 as International Year of Millets.

It starts from today to raise awareness and to bring back millets on your table.
Millets are coarse grains, divided in two groups; Major millets (Shorghum and Pearl millets) and Small millets (Madua/Ragi, Kodo, Kutaki, Sawan etc). They have their many local names in our country. Most common names are Jwar-Bajra. Though we use hear Kodo-Sawan in our childhood.

Red Sanders have being seized by Forests, Police, DRI, Customs, Border Guarding Forces from every corners of the country.
