Coimbatore: In Coimbatore, an innovative ‘Eat Right Millet Bikeathon’ was launched today at the District Collector’s office, as part of the ongoing efforts to promote the Year of Millets. This event is a collaborative initiative by the Tamil Nadu Food Safety and Drug Administration Department and Sri Shakthi Institute of Engineering and Technology.

The bikeathon, inaugurated by District Collector Kranthikumar, is designed to highlight the nutritional benefits of millets. Starting from the District Collector’s office, the rally traversed through Pollachi via Ukkadam, culminating at the Sri Shakthi College. This event saw the participation of over 15 two-wheelers, with students from the college actively joining in to spread awareness about the health advantages of consuming millets.
