Hi Geetanjali,
Good introduction.
You can also add a heading – importance of Millet cultivation, in that you can write that as India’s agriculture suffers hugely from the vagaries of monsoon, millets which are also known as “famine reserves” for their prolonged and easy storability under ordinary are of great relevance. They are most suitable for mixed and intercropping, thus offer sustainable resources use, food and livelihood security to farmers.
You have discussed the reasons in a decent manner.
Good conclusion.

Hi Samiksha
Good introduction.
You can also add a heading – importance of Millet cultivation, in that you can write that as India’s agriculture suffers hugely from the vagaries of monsoon, millets which are also known as “famine reserves” for their prolonged and easy storability under ordinary are of great relevance. They are most suitable for mixed and intercropping, thus offer sustainable resources use, food and livelihood security to farmers.
You have discussed the reasons in a decent manner.
In the suggested strategy, you can also add that government should make provisions for incentives to encourage millets cultivation. Greater thrust must be given to value addition of the millets to increase demand among the urban consumers
Good conclusion.
Leave some space between the paragraphs.
Keep writing !
