ABSTRACT
Millets are now considered as nutritious grains. The Front Line Demonstration was implemented consecutively for three years to demonstrate the improved production technology of two variety millets namely, finger millet genotype GPU - 48 and foxtail millet genotype PS - 4 in the farmers' fields. The data revealed that the grain yields of improved finger millet (GPU -48) and foxtail millet (PS - 4) varieties increased by 38 and 52 per cent and the stover yield increased by 36 and 84 per cent, respectively. The technology subsequently spread from beneficiary farmer to other farmers to the range of 75 to 502 farmers by each of the beneficiary. The produced grain was superior in comparison to the local varieties. The socio economic impact and food security of the district can also be changed as the yields can be increased tremendously if majority of the farmers adopt the improved production technology in their fields.
