AICTE, All India Council for Technical Education, is asking staff, professors, and students from recognized institutions to participate in the 'AICTE Millet Recipe Unleashing Talent' competition, which offers a top prize of Rs 1 lakh.
Participants in AICTE's AMRUT project are tasked with creating creative yet traditional millet-based meals. The competition includes sub-categories depending on millet ratios: 70% and above, 50-70%, and 30-50%. The competition is divided into three categories: starters, main courses, and desserts.
In keeping with the International Year of Millets 2023, AICTE's program raises awareness of the many advantages of millet, from economic growth and environmental sustainability to health and nutrition.
By encouraging participants to use millets in their recipes, the competition promotes the use of these healthy grains as well as creativity.
