BHUBANESWAR: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Sunday called upon people to incorporate millets into their daily diet and promote the nutrient-rich climate-resilient crops for sustainable agriculture.

Inaugurating a two-day International symposium on Shree Anna and Forgotten Food (ISSFF) organised by the department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Empowerment at Lok Seva Bhavan here, Majhi said the state government is providing necessary assistance to farmers for increased production of Shree Anna (millets) to make Odisha India’s millet hub. He urged food bloggers to promote new recipes and cooking styles to make mandia (a type of millet) more palatable and accessible to every household.
