dc.description.abstractThis successful project developed efficient and user-friendly equipment for de-hulling and processing small millets, increasing production and reducing women’s drudgery. Business models supported equipment manufacturers’ capacity to produce and sell more dehulling machines, paving the way for the development of decentralized small millet processing infrastructure in Eastern and Central India. The project brief covers details of this multi-faceted project to increase dietary diversity with a climate resilient gluten-free local “superfood.” Equipment manufacturers supplied 173 small millet processing units to 54 districts in 10 states. Over a thousand tonnes of millet rice and grits have been produced, reaching 288,500 consumers across 10 states.en
