About Farmer

Raju, Sangareddy

I have grown up eating millets and though I am not a very emotional person, it was sad for me to see millets and our basic food vanishing slowly. About 4 years ago, I realised that the area of cultivation under millets has been reducing drastically over time. And that is why I became millet farmer and started promoting millets. I am fond of foxtail millets.
