Millets are small-grained, annual, warm weather cereal. The millets
offer both nutritional and livelihood security of human population
and fodder security of diverse livestock population in dryland
region of India. Millets are highly nutritious, they are known as
health foods especially for control of diabetes and mineral
deficiencies. One of the major factors for declining consumption of
millets is the lack of awareness of their nutritive value and
inconvenience of their preparation. This book covers both,
chemistry and novel technology for millet processing and
development. It summarizes the latest information on millets, their
nutritional and health benefits, historical perspective,
utilization, R&D efforts, present status and the importance
being given by policy makers for promoting millets for sustainable
agriculture and healthy society. The book is compiled by various
experts keeping in view syllabi of different research institutions,
researchers, students as well requirement of the industry. It will
serve as instructional material for researchers in food science,
microbiology, process engineering, biochemistry, biotechnology and
reference material for those working in industry and R & D
labs.

Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) is a systematic, semi
structured activity conducted on site, by a multidisciplinary team.
It is basically a bottom to top approach of learning rural life
forms with and by rural people. Due to active participation of
community members as well as scientists, PRA has become a useful
method to focus attention on people, their livelihood and
relationship with social and economic factors. It is a good
technique to help the community members in general and farmers in
particular make an appraisal of their livelihoods and issues
related to it. PRA is an exercise that deals with temporal and
spatial issues in agricultural activities. Spatial information
supplies the database about soil type, water resources, land use,
land pattern and topography of different life support system.
Temporal data helps in seasonal analysis, adoption and awareness
about the new technologies and human dimension helps in knowing the
facts about participation, gender issues, disaggregation, cultural
values and ethics of the people of that locality.
