Abstract
The General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) has declared 2023 as the ‘International Year of Millets' to promote millets' nutritional, health, environmental, and economic advantages. Millets' unique qualities and advantages have made them important contributors to numerous sustainable development goals (SDGs). Prioritizing millets can lead to a sustainable and inclusive future. Millets are small-seeded grasses with great nutritional value and environmental resistance, surviving drought and flood. Millets were the first cereal grain cultivated, making it one of the oldest agricultural cereals. From historical records, millets were the first cereal grain to have been domesticated, making it one of the oldest farmed grains in the world.
