Pearl millet is a principal source of energy, protein, vitamins and minerals for millions of the poorest people in the regions where it is cultivated. To overcome the problems of under nutrition and over nutrition, there is need to develop value added and fiber rich products from cereals and nutritional evaluation of new crop varieties and preparation of value added products. Results indicated that the general awareness of the respondents regarding value added products of pearl millet was very low level, however, awareness was high at post-exposure level. Processing of pearl millet products among women was low at pre-exposure stage but after the post-exposure stage was quite high.
