Rotary Millet Festival ( Shri Anna Jatara) Year 2023 has been designated as the Year of Millets, both in India and Internationally. Millets are climate change friendly crops for farmers able to tolerate abiotic stresses and yield in challenging environments and conditions. Millets have numerous nutritional and health benefits for consumers. While we have a history of both cultivation, crop diversity and consumption, it is still scattered and unorganised. Consumer demand hence becomes a primary driver, incentivizing farmers towards more millet cultivation. Three farmer focussed organisations have come together with a quest to organise festivals to increase awareness bringing farmers, entrepreneurs, and consumers together. This is where this proposal comes in. This document seeks funding for organising the first festival tentatively scheduled for Sunday, September 10th , 2023 at Pune
