AGARTALA, June 24, 2024: A special session was organised to promote the use of millets among the families of Seema Praharis at the BSF Tripura Frontier headquarters Monday.

The seminar was conducted by Khadar Vali, a Padma Shri recipient in 2023 and known as the "Millet Man" of India. In his lecture, he emphasised the numerous health benefits of millets and their superiority in terms of vitamins, minerals and fiber compared to conventional grains.

Millets are also being extensively used in the food preparation at BSF messes. It is worth mentioning that the Food and Agriculture Organization and the United Nations have recognised 2023 as the International Year of Millets to raise awareness about their health and nutritional benefits.

The seminar was attended by senior officers, troops, and their family members. It is expected that this seminar will inspire BSF personnel to incorporate millets into their daily diet and lead a healthier lifestyle.
