There was no de-husking mill for minor millets. Minor millets are a source of micronutrients, but their production had declined for various reasons, one of the reasons is time taken for de-husking. Conserving these species, can be done only by reducing the drudgery involved in de-husking. So the group started a mill availing interest-free loan. The group was able to over come the drudgery of de-husking the millets, which use to take several hours of time and labour. | | Status | : | Repaid | | Group | : | Asia Initiatives |
