PM Modi collaborates with Grammy Award-winning Indian-American singer Falu and her husband Gaurav Shah for a song to promote millets and its potential to alleviate world hunger. ‘Abundance in Millets’ is set for release on June 16.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has collaborated with Grammy Award-winning Indian-American singer Falguni Shah for a special song to promote the benefits of millets and their potential to alleviate world hunger.
The ‘Abundance in Millets’ song, performed by Mumbai-born singer-songwriter Falguni Shah and her husband and singer Gaurav Shah, is set for release on June 16, across streaming platforms.
The year 2023 has been designated as the ‘International Year of Millets’ (IYM) after a proposal for it was brought forward by India and endorsed by Members of the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) governing bodies, as well as by the 75th Session of the U.N. General Assembly.
"Prime Minister Modi has written a song with me and my husband Gaurav Shah," Ms. Shah said.
She said the song, written in English and Hindi, will be made accessible to everybody and highlights the power of millets.
“Falu and Gaurav Shah will release the track ‘Abundance in Millets’ featuring Mr. Modi on June 16 in celebration of the International Year of Millets. 'Abundance in Millets' was created to raise awareness of the super grain as another potential key to minimising world hunger,” said a statement on Ms. Shah’s website.
Ms. Shah, who received the Grammy Award for Best Children’s Album in 2022 for her album ‘A Colorful World’, said the idea to write a song about millets came to her when she met Mr. Modi in New Delhi last year after her Grammy win.
