Food Fest-Experience Millets March 16 and 17, 2024, BMS College of Engineering, Bengaluru. Exhibition-Cum-Conference
In the backdrop of celebrating the success of Millets rejuvenation in the country, Laghu Udyog Bharati and IMS Foundation, in association with Big Foundation, is organizing “Food Fest-Experience Millets” a Pan-India trade show aimed at bringing together micro, small, and medium industries and connecting them with buyers.
To take the goodness of this rediscovered superfood, “Food Fest-Experience Millets” is scheduled to take place on March 16 and 17, 2024, (Saturday and Sunday) at BMS College of Engineering, Basavanagudi Bengaluru.
Kum. Sushri ShobhaKarandlaje, Hon’ble Minister of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare and Food Processing Industries Gol has kindly consented to be the Chief Guest and deliver the keynote address at the inaugural session at the above event.
In addition to the exhibition, where over 100 stalls will be displaying Millet-based products, a concurrent two-day conference on the theme “Destination Millets”, is also being organised covering various topics including Innovation in Millets, Market Trends and Demand Analysis, supply chain logistics and quality, Financial & Business support, Networking & Collaboration opportunities. Over 500 delegates are expected to actively participate in the conference.
For the general public a recipe-making Competition will be hosted to encourage culinary creativity and promote the use of millets in everyday cooking, engaging the general public in a fun and interactive way.

Millets are often referred to as Superfood and its production can be seen as an approach for sustainable agriculture and a healthy world. Multidimensional benefits associated with millets can address the issues related to nutrition security, food systems security, and farmers’ welfare.
Once a common food item on Indian plates, millets hardly find any place as cereals in modern Indian diet now, as rice and wheat have taken over as staple food. However, slowly Millets is now finding place on the dining tables. Millets are superfoods that can potentially provide a solution to several diseases and metabolic disorders. Superfoods are food items that claim to confer health benefits resulting from their exceptional nutrient density. Common millets include pearl millet (bajra), proso millet (barri), sorghum (jawar), finger millet (ragi), barley (jo), oats (jaee) and foxtail millet (kangani).
Millets are food grains having high nutritional features and health benefits and are cultivated with minimal water & inputs. They are cultivated across the country in various agro-ecological regions, having less infestation of pest and diseases and thus can be grown easily as organic crops. Consequent to the initiative of the Government of India, the United Nations has declared the year 2023 as the International Year of Millets (IYOM). This will create both domestic and global demand and enhance exports from India. To give impetus to the export of potential products as well as to remove the bottlenecks in the supply chain of nutri cereals, the Government, through Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has created Nutri Cereals Export Promotion Forum.
Top domain experts from NABARD, NIFTEM-Thanjavur, Nutrihub, LeadsConnect, ITC, GFI, Grafitec to name a few will be sharing their incisive thoughts on the millets sector at that two-day conference where the organisers expect a footfall of close to 5,000 participants, the above statements were released at press club of bangalore by Bhojaraj C N,Honorary Secretary-IMS Foundation
At press meet Smt. Chaya Prabhu, Secretaray, Smt. Hema Rajesh, Secretary and Smt. Sandhya Walvekar of LUBK were present.
The use of tobacco including cigarettes has increased among educated people. Therefore, along with awareness, sales control measures for tobacco products should be strictly followed. We have laws relating to the control of tobacco products, which are not being adequately enforced. Even now smoking continues in some public places. Direct and indirect advertising. For example, in movies, the hero of the film smokes a cigarette. It encourages people to smoke. Care should be taken not to sell tobacco products to children through shops.
Although tobacco is known to be harmful to health, people continue to use it. Just as the government has taken measures to ban hookah, many cancer cases can be prevented if the ban on tobacco products is strictly enforced saidDr. Mahantesh Cancer Specialist, Kidwai Memorial Gland Institute.
