Nutritional Awareness Corner
A specially curated display showcased the nutritional comparisons between millet-based foods and modern-day processed goods, with a special focus on health during pregnancy and childhood nutrition. This educational zone helped families understand why returning to traditional grains matters more than ever.

A mission to reconnect with our ancestral food wisdom, to encourage sustainable practices, and to build a healthier future for generations to come. With overwhelming community support and participation, the festival was a heartwarming success—and the beginning of many more to come.
