Dear Majam,
As you are aware, the Government of India is at the forefront in celebrating 2023 as the International Year of Millets by making it a people’s movement.

Multiple cooking sessions will be conducted over the 2 days.
Accordingly, it is requested that the Department of Personnel and Training may kindly share a suggested list of chefs and cooks across the canteens of Ministries/Department of Government of India to participate in the training session, which will familiarise them with millets and thus help in incorporating millet dishes in canteen menus and meals. Kindly let this department know the number of participants that you can nominate.
