New Delhi, 20th July, 2023, Wednesday: Under the visionary leadership of our Prime Minister Hon’ble Shri Narendra Modiji, United Nations declared 2023 as International Year of Millets. In support of India’s Millet Mission, The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, one of India’s leading hospitality brands, is proud to announce the launch of “Shree Anna” – a pan India promotion of India’s millets, taking place at all The Lalit properties across the country including The Lalit Suri Hospitality School and Subros. The launch event was held on the 19th of July at 12:30 pm and featured some of the foremost personalities in the city, including our chief guest Sh. Ganesh Joshi, Hon’ble Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development & Sainik Welfare, Govt. of Uttrakhand.

Millets, a home grown crop with diverse varieties, are being promoted by The Lalit Group for their exceptional nutritional value and versatility. This promotion aims to raise awareness about millets, their health benefits, and their importance in supporting the livelihoods of farmers.

The event kicked off with an address by the chief guest, who explained the concept and significance of the event. Guests were treated to a sumptuous plated meal featuring a variety of millet-based dishes. Media interactions took place after the meal, providing an opportunity to learn more about the health benefits and versatility of millets.

To commemorate the occasion, each guest received a box of home-made ragi cookies, along with a booklet highlighting the health benefits and origins of millets. Following the launch event, the Healthy Millet Menu will be available for a month at all The Lalit outlets across India, including 24/7, Oko, and Baluchi. Each city’s executive chef will play a pivotal role in showcasing the menu.
