A special song promoting the benefits of millets, in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi collaborated with Indian-American singer Falu, has been nominated for the Grammy award in the best global music performance category. The song, titled "Abundance in Millets," was performed by Falguni Shah, also known as Falu, and her husband, Gaurav Shah.

In the 'best global music performance' category, the song "Falu and Gaurav Shah (featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi) - Abundance in Millets" has received a Grammy nomination.

Others nominees in this category include Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer and Shahzad Ismaily for "Shadow Forces", Burna Boy for "Alone", Davido for "Feel", Silvana Estrada for "Milagro Y Disastre", Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer and Zakir Hussain featuring Rakesh Chaurasia for "Pashto", Ibrahim Maalouf featuring Cimafunk and Tank and the Bangas for "Todo Colores".

The year 2023 has been designated as the "International Year of Millets" following a proposal from India, which was endorsed by the members of the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) governing bodies and the 75th Session of the UN General Assembly.

"Prime Minister Modi has written a song with me and my husband Gaurav Shah," Falu had said ahead of the song's release earlier this year.
