After Making World’s First Millet Sharbat in March 2023, I have meet Dr Khadar Vali ji 3 times in Mysore.
He has liked and appriciated this innovation and he uses these Sharbats ob regular basis.
Khader Vali, also spelled Khadar Valli Dudekula, residing in Mysore is a food and nutrition specialist, who advocates consumption of millets to control life style diseases like diabetes, hypertension.
He was awarded Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award by the Government of India during 2023 and the same was handed over to him by the President of India on 5 April 2023.
Dr. Khadar Vali has brought forth the eternal truth behind keeping good health by doing intensive research for many years (towards finding a lasting solution for many modern illnesses) after being deeply disturbed by the cause of modern illnesses and resolving to find lasting solutions for them.
The remarkable contribution of Dr. Khadar Vali to the fields of food and health lies in highlighting the fact that the ratio of dietary fibre to carbohydrates present in different foods largely determines the health of people who consume them. Besides, his unrelenting work as an independent food scientist and health expert is unparalleled since he not only discovered the medicinal properties of the much forgotten cereals called millets but also successfully recommended them for patients of various diseases for cure.
