Actually, the dependence of Indians increased on wheat, paddy and other grains. For this reason, the consumption of coarse cereals like Jowar, Bajra, Kuttu, Sama, Sugar, Ramdana etc. decreased. The effect of reduced consumption was that the farmers reduced its sowing. It remained confined to some parts of the country. Coarse grains are very important in terms of nutrients.
