Thirty seven hybrids were developed by crossing Fe enriched parents and tested in Intermediate Station Trial. 12 hybrid combinations were found promising and selected for further evaluation. Fifty two hybrids were developed through hybridization of Iron and Zinc enriched parents.
Genetic linkage maps of seven Pearl millet linkage groups based on the F6:7 mapping population derived from PPMI 683 x PPMI 627 for iron and zinc contents: Seven QTLs for iron and zinc contents for three consecutive years (2014, 2015 and 2016) at Delhi location detected by interval mapping on Pearl millet chromosome 3, chromosome 6 and chromosome 7 in the F6:7 population of the cross PPMI 683 x PPMI 627.

Forty two test crosses along with three checks were attempted and evaluated in CRP biofortification Station Trial during khaif 2017 were attempted and 14 hybrids selected for further evaluation in kharif 2018. Fifty two B X B crosses were evaluated for development of new seed parent and 11 crosses were selected for generating advanced F2 lines. One hundred three crosses (F1) were evaluated and 29 crosses were selected for further advancement to F2 generation. Parental screening for Polymorphism has been done and SSR marker analysis is in progress for one mapping population. In addition, protein content of dry stover was determined for 16 entries of CRP Biofortification Parental Line Trial.

Under the project objective i.e. development of value added products, ready to cook and multigrain mixture suitable for Mid-day meal scheme, nutritional evaluation for crude protein, fat, ash, fibers and anti-nutrients (phytic acid and polyphenol) in ladoo, barfi and halwa, proximate composition of chapati, sev, dalia and khichri, protein iron zinc and calcium content of cake and biscuit, nutritional evaluation of processed and unprocessed pearl millet, organoleptic acceptability and self life study of pearl millet flour were carried out.
In socio-impact study and popularization of biofortified products, various traditional products (ladoo, sev and dalia) and bakery products (cake and biscuits) were developed from biofortified variety of pearl millet (Dhanshakti) in combination with other food ingredients like semolina, bengal gram flour wheat grits and refined flour using standard recipes were studied for their organoleptic acceptability using nine point hedonic scale and it was in the range of ‘like moderately’.

Based on high Fe and Zn content, sixteen hybrids were developed in summer 2017 and evaluated in kharif 2017. Ten hybrids having high Fe and Zn were evaluated in RBD design. Screening of 6 breeding lines (3 male sterile and 3 restorers) was carried out. Twenty lines were evaluated from material selected during Scientist Field Day kharif 2014 at ICRISAT. F2 of the 8 crosses were planted and 60 established restorer line have been sent to ICRISAT for quality parameter analysis including high Fe and Zn. A total of 9 entries contributed in coordinated trials and out of them 5 entries were in HT Fe & Zn trial.
