    Abstract

    Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), commonly known as bajra, is a nutritionally rich and climate-resilient cereal widely cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions. Its exceptional tolerance to drought, heat, and poor soils makes it a lifeline crop under changing climatic conditions. Rich in dietary fiber, essential amino acids, iron, zinc, and B-complex vitamins, pearl millet contributes significantly to food and nutritional security. With expanding climate risks and resource constraints, pearl millet offers sustainable solutions for resilient farming systems, livelihood security, and diversified food systems, particularly in developing countries.
