Subasa Mohanta is a farmer from Matiagarh village in Mayurbhanj district. She will share her experiences of growing millets and the challenges she has faced. She will also talk about the importance of millets for the health and well-being of tribal communities.

The participation of these two women at the G20 Summit is a significant opportunity to promote millets and sustainable agriculture on the global stage. It is also a testament to the success of the Odisha Millet Mission, which has helped to revive the cultivation of millets in the state.

The G20 Summit will be held on September 9-10 in Delhi. The millet exhibition will be held at Bharat Mandapam, where there will also be millet startups, millet rangoli art, and live cooking demonstrations. The spouses of G20 leaders will be treated to a curated tour of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) campus on September 9th.

This is a great opportunity to showcase the nutritional benefits of millets and the importance of sustainable agriculture. It is also a chance to highlight the success of the Odisha Millet Mission and the efforts of tribal communities to preserve millet cultivation.
