The present study was conducted with the objective to identify the awareness levels and consumption of millets among young adults from Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh in India . A total of 232 young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 years were interviewed in this concurrent nested design-based study. The objective of this study was to identify the awareness of millets and investigate the consumption patterns of millets among young adults. The results showed that although 80.20 percent of the respondents were aware of millets in general, only 23.20 percent knew of more than 5 types of millets. The recognition rate was lowest for Barnyard millet (35.60%). The consumption pattern showed majority of the respondents were consuming millets but the frequency was only ‘few times a year’. The study concluded that young adults need to be made aware about the importance and ways of consuming millets for better mainstreaming of millets among the population.
