Abstract

Millets are referred as ‘Shrianna’ nowadays. From the ancient period millets are being used in India as a prime food. The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) approved the International Year of Millets (IYM) 2023, which was proposed and supported by the Government of India. India hopes to establish itself as the "Global Hub for Millets" by boosting farmers’ incomes, creating livelihoods, and assuring the security of food and nutrition. The IYM will be observed globally. According to Ayurveda, millets are among the most important cereals for human nutrition. Millets are described with their descriptions, together with Gunas (properties) and Karmas (mode of action) in Ayurveda literature broadly.
