why do millets hold an important place in our cropping pattern?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The term 'millet’ includes a number of coarse or inferior grains that have high nutritive value like Bajra, Jowar and Ragi. Millets are also known as ‘dry crops’ because they are grown in the drier parts of the country.
