Harvest Plus Biofortification Program of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGJAR) has initiated the development and dissemination of improved crop. Cultivars with elevated levels of these micromarients in several crops) including pearl millet. Pearl millet) grown on 8-9 million ha in India) is major dryland cereal in the arid and semi-arid regions.
