On 24 August 2022, The department of English, Indraprastha College for Women had the honor of inviting Ms. Shubhangi Singh, founder of Ancient Golden Mill/Golden Millets for a lecture on "Potential of Millets and its Awareness in India". This event was organized under the aegis of Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Government of India as a part of celebration of "The International Year of Millets" in which Ms. Shubhangi Singh introduced millets to students as a healthy alternative to regularly consumed food items and commenting on their significance in modern lifestyle. The audience gained a benefiting insight about the numerous health benefits of millets, the need to go back to traditional sources of food, accessibility and demand of millets in the market, as well as ways and means of introducing the same in our lives.

The Q/A round after the lecture sparked an engaging and insightful discussion with students and faculty alike which ended with the distribution of food samples amongst the audience by the guest. It was a huge honor to have such an esteemed personality with us.
