Abstract:
Consumption of millets has increasing day by day because millets have number of health benefits when compared to cereals. Due to lack of awareness on nutritional importance of millets and methods of value addition, the consumption of millets is low among rural areas. In view of this present study was carried out to assess the impact of training programme on millet and their value addition among rural areas. The study showed that majority of female respondents showed interest in value addition of millets compared to male respondents. Pre-training and post-training assessment was done to observe the level of skill of the respondents. It was observed that increase in the duration of training programme gives yields better results among the respondents to gain more knowledge and skill on value addition.
