Walkathon: The Millet Walkathon, organized by Nutrihub, ICAR-IIMR, and PJTSAU on March 3, 2023, was a dynamic public engagement event aimed at raising awareness about the health benefits and nutritional value of millets. The event kicked off at the University Auditorium with opening remarks that likely highlighted the importance of millets in addressing nutritional challenges. A street play performed by students creatively communicated the significance of millets, making the information accessible and engaging for a diverse audience. The flag-off ceremony, led by dignitaries including Dr. Seema (Dean of Agriculture), Dr. J. Satyanarayana (Dean of Student Affairs), Dr. C. Tara Satyavathi (Director, ICAR-IIMR), and Dr. B. Dayakar Rao (CEO, Nutri Hub), underscored the institutional support for millet promotion. The walkathon route, which passed through key areas like the Veterinary University and the main road of Rajendranagar before culminating at ICAR-IIMR, maximized visibility and public engagement. Throughout the walk, participants enthusiastically chanted slogans promoting millets, creating a festive atmosphere while spreading awareness. The event's success in attracting approximately 1,200 participants from various institutions highlighted the growing interest in millets among diverse groups, including students, researchers, and staff from multiple organizations.
