One Millet Meal Every Day
On June 21, 2025, International Yoga Day, during Millet Udyami Bharat 2025 in Hyderabad, Mr. Prasanna Srinivas Sarakadam announced the slogan "One Millet Meal Every Day".
This slogan became the heart of his health movement. His belief is that India's future healthcare burden can be reduced only when healthier food habits become part of everyday life. For him, the millet mission is not only about food — it is about preventive health, public awareness, local entrepreneurship, women empowerment, and national food transformation.
He focused on making millet food tasty, practical, and acceptable.
Mr. Prasanna Srinivas Sarakadam understood that awareness alone cannot change food habits. Healthy food must also be enjoyable. With this belief, he worked on millet product research and recipe development with chefs, national food experts, and Millet Mothers.
During the Indian Lifestyle Festival held on January 31 and February 1, 2026, nearly 30 millet recipes were showcased to the public. More than 3,000 people attended the event, tasted the preparations, and gave highly positive feedback.
This response gave him confidence to introduce structured millet lunch plans in Hyderabad as a pilot project and further strengthen the mission of "One Millet Meal Every Day."
The result of his experience is a national millet ecosystem.
