Honoured to address the bright minds of the Institute of Cost Accountants of India at CMA Bhawan, Jaipur, on “Millets for Sustainable Development: A Social Cost-Benefit Perspective.”
What stood out was the powerful intersection of finance, sustainability, and agriculture—and the critical role Cost and Management Accountants can play in shaping this future.
🔹 Key Policy Insights:
•India needs a structured social cost-benefit framework for millets
•True valuation must include environmental sustainability, water efficiency & farmer resilience
•CMAs can drive pricing, value chain efficiency & global competitiveness
•Rajasthan’s millets have the potential to become a global export brand
🔹 The Big Opportunity: If aligned with policy and markets, the millet ecosystem can create large-scale employment for finance professionals, strengthen rural economies, and position India as a global leader in sustainable food systems
As Millet Woman of India & MD, Basillia Organics, I strongly believe: “The future of millets lies not just in farms, but in how we value, finance, and position them.” @MrMotilalOswal@ICMAICMA@nsitharaman@ChouhanShivraj@OfficeofSSC
