In a surprising turn of events, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi finds himself in the Grammy spotlight with a nomination for the song 'Abundance of Millets.' The track, featuring Indian-American Grammy-winning singer Falu (Falguni Shah) and her husband Gaurav Shah, celebrates the health benefits of millets and the government's efforts to promote the nutritious cereal.
Falu revealed that the idea for the song emerged during a meeting with PM Modi in Delhi last year after winning the Grammy. It was Modi who suggested creating a song to address hunger issues.
The song, released in June this year, aligns with the United Nations' declaration of 2023 as the International Year of the Millets, emphasizing the cereal's nutritional value.
