This summer, GRT Radisson Resorts is inviting travellers to slow down and reconnect with the charm of coastal holidays through its latest campaign, ‘Soulful Summer Stories’. Spread across Radisson Resort Pondicherry Bay and Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay Mamallapuram, the initiative focuses on easy, meaningful, and experience-led getaways along the East Coast.

Located within comfortable driving distance from Chennai and easily accessible from Bengaluru, both resorts are designed for travellers looking for relaxed beach escapes, family vacations, romantic stays, weekend breaks, and pet-friendly holidays.

At Radisson Resort Pondicherry Bay, guests can enjoy the specially curated Soulful Summer Offer starting from INR 13,500++ per night. The package includes GReaT Sunshine Breakfast at Bay Bistro, buffet or set-menu lunch or dinner, complimentary stay and meals for up to two children below 10 years, Cult Tea experiences, Radisson Rewards points, and access to GReaT Kathas — immersive story-led experiences inspired by Pondicherry.

Meanwhile, Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay Mamallapuram is offering its own version of the Soulful Summer Offer with a focus on expansive beachfront experiences. The package includes breakfast and dinner at Waters Edge Café, complimentary stay for up to two children below 10 years, family-friendly and pet-friendly experiences, Cult Tea sessions, and Radisson Rewards points. The resort’s spacious setting and beachside atmosphere make it ideal for group holidays and long weekend getaways.

A key highlight of the campaign is Katha, GRT Hotels’ signature storytelling-based experiential concept. Inspired by local culture, heritage, and the unique character of each destination, Katha is designed to offer travellers more than just a stay.

The experiences include wellness rituals, culinary trails, ATV rides, swimming and paddling activities, beach explorations, water sports, cultural adventures, heritage visits, and specially curated in-hotel activities.

Millet Marvels has launched a National Mission aimed at encouraging people to include millets in their daily diet through the initiative “One Meal a Day with Millets.” The announcement was made at Indian Institute of Millets Research (ICAR-IIMR), Rajendranagar, in association with Nutrihub.

The campaign has received support from Nagarjuna Akkineni, who shared a video message urging people to adopt millets as part of their everyday meals. He also appreciated Millet Marvels for bringing forward an initiative focused on building a healthier nation.

The mission aligns with the vision of Narendra Modi to promote better food habits across the country. It aims to bring millets back into regular diets, encouraging individuals and families to make a simple yet impactful shift towards healthier eating.

The launch was led by Sri Janampalli Anirudh Reddy, Hon'ble MLA, Telangana. The event was also attended by Dr. C. Tara Satyavathi, Director, ICAR: Indian Institute of Millets Research, Dr. J. Stanley, Director & CEO, Nutrihub: ICAR-IIMR, and Dr. Bharat Reddy, Founder & CEO, Millet Marvels. Sri Appalanaidu Kalisetti, Hon'ble MP - Lok Sabha, AP, shared a video message during the occasion.

As part of the initiative, participants took a pledge to include at least one millet-based meal in their daily routine, spread awareness about its benefits, and nominate three others to join the movement. This chain-based approach is expected to help the campaign reach a wider audience across India and beyond.

Sri Janampalli Anirudh Reddy, said, "The future of India lies in millets. Once regarded as the "poor man's food," while polished rice and wheat were seen as symbols of affluence, the narrative is now reversing, those who are health-conscious are returning to millets, while poor are moving toward refined grains. Today, significant investments are being made in irrigation to support paddy cultivation. However, crops like millets require nearly 80% less water and offer far greater nutritional benefits, making them both environmentally sustainable and health-friendly. The "One Meal a Day with Millets" initiative by Millet Marvels is a commendable step in the right direction. I intend to strongly advocate for increased millet consumption in the upcoming assembly session. At a time when many in the West are consciously shifting toward millets, it is ironic that we are moving toward the processed foods they are moving away from. It is our collective responsibility to instil healthy eating habits in the next generation and build a healthier future for our nation."

Sharing his thoughts, Dr. Bharat Reddy said,

"This initiative marks the beginning of a transformative journey, a people's movement toward embracing millets as a sustainable and nutritious way of life. Through this mission, Millet Marvels aims to inspire a nationwide shift toward healthier eating practices, reinforcing the importance of traditional grains in modern diets while contributing to long-term public health and sustainability. This is a landmark day for Millet Marvels. Through this campaign, we aspire for every individual to adopt at least one millet-based meal each day. When I approached Nagarjuna garu to share a message on millet consumption, he extended his wholehearted support without hesitation, lending his voice to this cause. I am confident his message will inspire many to rethink and transform their food habits."

Dr. Tara Satyavathi said, "The recommendation of the National Institute of Nutrition is clear, one-third of the cereals we consume should be millets, and they can be included in any meal of the day. The reason is simple, we all aspire to live healthy, happy, and meaningful lives. A balanced diet directly influences not just our physical health, but also our thoughts, behaviour, and overall well-being. Millets truly deserve their reputation as superfoods. With nine diverse varieties, each offering unique nutritional benefits, they play a vital role in maintaining good health. Rich in essential vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and proteins, millets provide the nourishment our bodies need, naturally and holistically. This is a wake-up call for all of us to address rising lifestyle diseases. Our ancestors believed that food itself is medicine, but today, we often consume food that leads us toward more medication. Let's make a conscious shift. Start by including millets in at least one meal a day and spread this message to inspire more people to embrace healthier eating habits."

Dr. J. Stanley said, "This campaign is redefining the way India eats, driving a meaningful behavioural shift toward a healthier nation. The idea of "One Meal a Day with Millets" is simple, actionable, and highly scalable, seamlessly connecting nutrition, sustainability, and farmers' livelihoods within a single framework. Dr. Bharat Reddy deserves immense appreciation for conceptualising this forward-thinking initiative. This launch marks an important step toward making millets a regular part of our daily diet, rather than just an occasional alternative."
