With millet consumption gaining popularity due to its health benefits, the project addressed the existing lack of awareness and skills related to millet nutrition and value addition, particularly among women Self-Help Groups (SHGs).
The project was implemented in a remote village under Pedda Amberpet Municipality, Rangareddy District—home to many single women and homemakers with limited income-generating opportunities. These women faced challenges such as low household income, poor nutrition awareness, and limited access to food processing technologies.
In response, the project delivered a 20-day capacity-building program and organized an exposure visit for 390 SHG members. The intervention aimed to empower women with practical skills in millet-based food enterprises, enabling them to improve their incomes, health outcomes, and overall family well-being.
This effort also aligned with the United Nations’ declaration of 2023 as the International Year of Millets, reinforcing its relevance and timely impact.es.
