        abstract = {Maize (Zea mays L.) is a principal cereal crop in India, providing significant nutritional, medicinal, and economic benefits. It has been widely studied for its role in food and nutritional security, livestock feed, industrial uses, and health-promoting bioactive components. Indian research has especially focused on nutrient quality improvement including biofortified maize varieties (e.g., provitamin-A maize and Quality Protein Maize), organic production systems, and nutrient management strategies to enhance productivity and nutritional value. Several studies by ICAR and allied institutions have evaluated maize cultivars for yield, nutrient content, and biofortification potential, highlighting its multifunctional value. This review synthesizes findings from Indian and international literature on maize’s nutritional composition, medicinal properties, and economic significance, emphasizing implications for sustainable agriculture, health, and rural livelihoods in the Indian context.},
