Tag: Queen of millets

Raimati Ghiuria, a tribal farmer from Odisha, was honored as the 'Queen of Millets' at the G20 Summit for her tireless work preserving over 30 traditional millet varieties and empowering local women farmers. This prestigious title recognizes human dedication to sustainable agriculture, rather than a single type of grain.

With more than 500 varieties of millets recorded globally, one grain stands out for its exceptional nutritional profile and health benefits. Finger millet, also known as ragi, is known as the 'queen of millets' due to its impressive calcium content and therapeutic properties.
