On the eve of Independence Day and Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the institute developed a millet-processing unit to offer millet growers and FPOs a processing facility. Additionally, it inked an MOU with the Rotary Club of Krishi Rajendranagar and Nabhitha Engineering Private Ltd. to establish the primary processing plant on the grounds of ICAR-IIMR.
