Agartala: BSF Tripura Frontier today organised a special session was organized to encourage the use of millets among families of Seema Praharis. 

Khadar Vali, Padma Shri recipient of 2023, known as the millet man of India, conducted the seminar.

Delivering the lecture in the seminar, he emphasized the benefits of millet for leading a healthy life.

Millets are full of vitamins, minerals, fibers etc. and have more nutritional content than conventional grains.

In BSF messes, millets are extensively used in food preparation.

It will also be pertinent to mention here that the Food and Agriculture Organization and the United Nations have recognized 2023 as the International Year of Millets for awareness about the health and nutritional benefits of Millets. 

Senior officers, troops and their family members were present during the seminar.

The seminar will certainly go a long way in motivating the BSF personnel to adopt millets in their daily diet and lead a healthy lifestyle.
