<div>Background: Globally the usage of Ethnomedicinal herbs to treat various diseases and metabolic disorders has increased over recent years. Intensive efforts are carried out by researchers in the last five decades to identify the phytochemicals responsible for Antibacterial, Antiviral, Antifungal, Antimicrobial, Antibiotic, Anticancer, Antidiabetic, Antihypertensive and Antioxidant Properties. Millets are a group of small-seeded grasses. Although millets are frequently referred to as coarse cereals, they are now known as nutricereals because of their greater levels of nutrients. The present study aims at the phytochemical analysis and evaluation of antioxidant potential of aqueous and kamadhenu ark extracts of few minor millets namely proso, little and kodo millets. 
 
Methods: Proso, little and kodo millets are washed, shade dried and homogenized. The Aqueous and kamadhenu ark extracts were prepared by maceration method. Antioxidant activity was determined using DPPH Assay. Phytochemical Analysis were investigated as per standard procedures. 
 
Result: Kamadhenu ark extract of proso millet has the highest antioxidant activity with IC50 value of 0.0212&plusmn;0.04 mg/ml and the least activity of 3.1952&plusmn;0.19 mg/ml is shown by sprouted kodo millet in combination with kamadhenu ark. The Phytochemical analysis manifested the inherence of carbohydrates, diterpenes, glycosides, phenols, phytosterols, saponins, steroids, tannins and triterpenoids.</div>
