Millets are the most farmer-friendly crops, which can be sown with the least amount of equipment, grow on very low fertility soils, practically never require inputs, and only require one weeding. They also don't need to be deeply ploughed. Millets have decreased because of many reasons including changing dietary choices, and a lack of research, while being formerly important in the diets of Asians and Africans. The study highlights millets' potential to address concerns related to food security and malnutrition brought on by climate change and global population expansion by highlighting their minimal input requirements, flexibility, and nutritional richness. It discusses recent global recognition, notably in India, with government initiatives to promote millet cultivation and consumption. Rich in minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, several kinds of millet have health benefits that make them effective treatments for conditions like anemia, heart disease, migraines, obesity, gastrointestinal disorders, malignancies, neurological disorders, dermatitis, blood-related problems, and diabetes. The declaration of the International Year of Millets and the initiatives taken by the Indian government highlight the benefits of millets in reducing hunger and improving food security worldwide. The historical significance, decrease, advantages of millet production, and health benefits are examined in this paper.
