Embrace the Millet Movement: Unveiling the Millets Experience Centre in Dilli Haat
Welcome to the world of millets, where health meets taste! the first-of-its-kind ‘Millets Experience Centre (MEC)’ was inaugurated at Dilli Haat, INA, New Delhi. This visionary initiative, was led by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare in collaboration with NAFED, aimed to raise awareness about millets and encourage their adoption among the general public. As we celebrate the International Year of Millets (IYM 2023), India takes center stage in championing millets as a crop that benefits farmers, the environment, and consumers alike.
The Millets Experience Centre (MEC) at Dilli Haat was a consumer-oriented establishment that showcases the dietary benefits of millets while popularizing them as a nutritional powerhouse. Here, visitors could indulge in a unique dining experience, savoring a variety of millet-based dishes like dosa and pasta. Additionally, the MEC offered a delightful shopping experience, allowing customers to purchase ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook products from local millet start-ups. This convergence of gastronomic delights and retail therapy made the MEC an all-encompassing destination for millet enthusiasts.
As we embark on the International Year of Millets, India is determined to position itself as a global leader in millet cultivation and consumption. The Millets Experience Centre (MEC) at Dilli Haat stands as a testament to this commitment, providing a platform to explore the wonders of millets. With a focus on health, taste, and sustainability, the MEC is set to revolutionize the way we perceive and embrace millets. Join us on this exciting journey as we discover the remarkable potential of millets and witness the ‘Millet Movement’ unfold before our eyes.
