The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) approved India's proposal to observe the year 2023 as the "International Year of Millets/International Year of Nutri-Cereals" in the year 2018 and the United Nations General Assembly declared the year 2023 as the "International Year of Millets". Millets are nutritionally rich and superior to other staple foods due to their high protein, vitamins, fiber, and minerals like iron content. Millet is also very important from the point of view of health and it is gluten-free, which helps in tackling the health challenges of increasing urbanization and lifestyle problems like diabetes, cholesterol, and obesity. Therefore, millet is very important from the point of view of health, food, and nutritional security. Keeping this subject forward, the writers "Sapna Langyan and Renu Singh" have created the present book "Millets and Healthy Living". The main objective of this book is to provide information related to the various benefits including, health to the scientists, researchers, technical assistants, policymakers, planners, students, agricultural extension workers, farmers, and common people.
