The Odisha Mission is taking major strides in collaborating with restaurants and chefs to promote Odishas millets.
The efforts of bringing the millets from farm to plate are on the rise as the State Government is taking various initiatives to promote the consumption of millets. One such drive is seen at the Millet Food Festival.
The Odisha Millet Mission, along with Michaels Kitchen, a fine-dining restaurant in Bhubaneswar, is organising the Millet Food Festival to commemorate the International Year of Millets 2023. The 15-day festival, scheduled from May 5 to 20, features various organic national and international dishes, with millets as the lead ingredient.
The festival also featured a master class from May 7 to 11. The master class aimed at orienting how to manage a restaurant and how new dishes and food items can be made from millets. The session was attended by Mission Shakti WSHGs to learn how to manage their own businesses.
