Cuttack: The Odisha Millets Mission is organising a series of entertaining events around various cities in the state. This week, on the 14th and 15th of October the team reached the Darga Bazar Shopping Mall, in Cuttack City and was attended by the local agricultural department and many local shoppers present in the building.

From collaborating with local chefs to teach housewives and home chefs new recipes to now hosting a charming interactive show, these ongoing initiatives by OMM are sure to leave an impact. The broad idea behind this event was to keep infusing the key message in the audience’s minds, that is to accept millet into their daily dietary habits all while keeping the crowd engaged and entertained.

The enchanting harmonies of Odia and Hindi melodies captivated attendees, ensuring an electrifying atmosphere that left audiences grooving throughout the duration of the event.
It then proceeded to discuss the vastly accepted unhealthy eating habits, portrayed through a hilarious comedy skit. To make sure the message is received by the audience, the screening of an educational film conveying the nutritional value of millet has also been planned.
