Question 97

Which health benefit of millets is mentioned in the passage?

Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows. The Return of Millets For centuries, millets such as ragi, jowar and bajra formed the backbone of the Indian diet. They grow well in dry regions, need far less water than rice or wheat and can survive high temperatures. Yet, after the Green Revolution, farmers increasingly shifted to rice and wheat, which were supported by assured government purchase and subsidised fertilisers. Millets slowly disappeared from the plates of urban families, who began to see them as food for the poor. In recent years, however, there has been a remarkable revival. Nutritionists point out that millets are rich in fibre, iron and calcium, and release sugar slowly into the blood, making them ideal for people with lifestyle diseases. The United Nations declared 2023 the International Year of Millets at India's suggestion, giving the grains global attention. Still, experts caution that enthusiasm alone is not enough. Unless farmers receive fair prices and consumers find millet products convenient to cook, the revival may remain a passing trend rather than a lasting change.
