India is an agriculture leading country. Millets are indigenous to many parts of the world. Millets or nutri-cereals are high-energy foods; that are cultivated as early as 10,000 years ago. The millets are cultivated in degraded and marginal lands that receive very less rainfall and are poor in soil nutrient content. To increase the yield, new cultivation technology needs to be introduced. To disseminate the essential information to the farmers using the widespread availability of smartphones and Internet. This paper presents a mobile-apps directed millets to the agricultural sector designed in Android Operating System. The Millets AMPP App include the information about Origin and History, Area and Distribution, Botanical Description, Season And Varieties, Morphological Description, Crop Management as Climatic Requirements, Soil, Field Preparation, Seed and Sowing, Manures and Fertilizers, Water Management, Weed Control, Crop Protection as Pests and Diseases, Harvesting and Threshing, Yield, Nutrient Information, Health benefits , Machinery and value added products for the millets Maize, Sorghum, Kambu, Ragi, Pannivaragu, Samai, Thinai, Varagu, Banyard Millet. The detailed information is designed and presented in the form of an Android application- AMPP Millet App. The paper also discusses the steps to develop applications and the content available
