The Union Government ’ s constant push of Millet ’ s crop has increased the yearly income of 75 % of the Millet farmers between 10 % to 20 % in Uttarakhand , reveals a study conducted on over 2,100 farmers by Indian Institute of Management , Kashipur . The six-month-long study conducted by four senior professors and five data collectors , “ Millet Production in Uttarakhand : An Empirical Analysis of its Socio- Economic Impact and Marketability Challenges ” was released on March 17 , 2024 , at IIM Kashipur .
The finding says that the recent push by the Union as well as State government created a demand for Millet crops in the market but the farmers are unaware of it . Besides , most farmers are growing Millets for self-consumption instead of earning a profit . “ Most of the farmers growing Millets for self-consumption are not using it as a money crop like rice and wheat ,” says assistant professor Shivam Rai of the IIM Kashipur , the Principal Investigator of the study .
