Welcome to the Millet Resource Bank, a pivotal component of the Millet Revival Project. This initiative aims to rejuvenate the cultivation, distribution, and accessibility of millets across diverse regions of India. Our resource bank is a dynamic repository that brings together farmers, consumer brands, restaurants, and collaborators to foster conversations and partnerships within the millet space.

The Format: A Unified Platform

The Millet Resource Lab is committed to parsing through and validating data and insights from various stakeholders in the millet landscape. Through comprehensive interviews, volunteers at the lab actively engage with individuals, organisations, and restaurants involved in the sector to gain a well-rounded understanding of their work and contributions. The collected information undergoes rigorous vetting, after which it is channeled into the open-access repository. Stakeholders also have the option to self-register via a Google Form, further enriching the bank.

This evolving resource bank serves as a valuable tool for consumers, organisations, and restaurants seeking to engage with millet producers, enthusiasts, and experts.
