The present study was undertaken to study the nutritional composition of different varieties pearl millet. The nutritional evaluation indicated that the moisture content of pearl millet varieties HC-20 (bio-fortified), HHB-67 (improved) and WHC-901 was 7.41, 8.61 and 7.89 per cent, respectively. The protein content of HC-20 (bio-fortified), HHB-67 improved and WHC-901 were 11.95 g/100g, 12.48 g/100g and 11.81 g/100g, respectively. The crude fibre was higher (1.67%) in HHB-67 (improved) variety. Total mineral content in selected pearl millet varieties indicated that, highest iron (7.23 mg/100g) and zinc (4.35 mg/100g) contents were found in pearl millet variety HC-20 (bio-fortified) and highest calcium content (54.87mg/100g) was found in variety HHB-67 (improved).
