The National Consultation on Millets, organized by the Millet Network of India and Deccan Development Society in collaboration with the National Institute for Rural Development was an effort in this direction. For two days, farmers, activists, academics, environmentalists, policy makers and scientists sat together to debate and discuss the ways and means of reinventing millets and put them at the centre of our agrarian policy space. The publication in your hand is an eloquent summary of the issues discussed, ideas offered and the actions contemplated in this Consultation. If this document compels the policy makers, agricultural and development academia and social activists to take a relook at millets, with a new fascination for them, then the purpose of the National Consultation will have been achieved. The Hyderabad Declaration on Millets, at the end of this report is a call for action. The Millet Network of India invites everyone who welcomes the ‘concept that is millet’ to engage in this action.
