Revitalizing Traditional Crops of Lepcha

My Mom(Azee) is very curious to teach Finger Millet farming to my better half(Dechen) & Niece(Amimsha) 

We the Lepcha called these crops as Kamdak(scientific name is Pennisetum glaucum) and Naho(scientific name is Sorghum bicolor). These crops are cultivated a lot by our grand parents & parents a very long long ago for different use for human and animals but now a day these crops are rarely cultivated and one can hardly see now a day so this is kind of waking up alarm and revitalizing the traditional crops. Bringing back a vanishing crops of vanishing tribes.
