Food insecurity has surged globally since the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the need for resilient staple foods like millet, an ancient superfood. Despite its nutritional benefits, millet consumption declined after the Green Revolution due to a governmental focus on wheat and rice, worsening malnutrition and undernutrition. The pandemic's health awareness led to a resurgence in millet consumption. Globally, efforts are being made to increase food grain availability and affordability to combat hunger. Millets, as a sustainable option, are vital for addressing nutritional needs. Government initiatives, such as the International Year of Millets (IYOM), promote its consumption. This study, conducted in Vadodara, Gujarat, examines the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of teachers regarding millet consumption, highlighting their role in educating future generations. The survey, using random purposive sampling and a validated questionnaire, revealed that although teachers are aware of millets and the IYOM, actual consumption at home is limited despite a positive attitude towards millet.
