"Millets are a group of highly variable small-seeded grasses, widely grown around the world as cereal crops or grains for fodder and human food. Millets are important crops in the semiarid tropics especially in India.
This crop is favored due to its productivity and short growing season under dry, high-temperature conditions. Millet cultivation provides farmers more economic stability than commercial crops.
This MOU will help students to understand more about this type of agriculture and they can help farmers with their research." said Sachin Gupta, Chancellor Sanskriti University.
Indian Institute of Millets Research (IIMR) is a premier agricultural research institute engaged in basic and strategic research on sorghum and other millets under Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). IIMR coordinates and facilitates Millets research at national level through All India Coordinated Research Projects on Millets, Pearl Millet and Small Millets and provides linkages with various national and international agencies.
