Bajra (pearl millet) is a hardy crop well-suited for semi-arid and arid regions, thriving under conditions of water stress and limited rainfall. This makes it an essential crop for regions that face harsh environmental conditions. Bajra is highly adaptable, and its ability to sustain well under these stressful situations, such as drought, makes it a valuable crop in areas where other cereals might fail. Bajra serves a dual purpose: it is cultivated for both grain and fodder. The grain is an important food source, particularly in dryland areas, while the fodder is used for livestock, supporting the agricultural economy and food security in rural areas. Bajra is typically grown during the Kharif (monsoon) season and also in summer due to its wide adaptability to different climatic conditions.

In India, the major pearl millet growing states include Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana. These regions are crucial for the cultivation of Bajra, which contributes significantly to both food production and livestock feed. The crop's resilience to drought, high temperature, and poor soil conditions makes it an ideal choice for farmers in these areas, offering them a reliable source of income and sustenance.
