PM Modi Grammy Song News: A song on millets, featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi and written by Indian-American singer Falguni Shah along with her husband, Gaurav Shah has been nominated in the best global music performance category at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Titled 'Abundance In Millets', the song was released in June this year. It features a speech written and delivered by PM Modi.
"Prime Minister Modi has written a song with me and my husband Gaurav Shah," Falu told PTI. Falu (Falguni Shah) said that the idea of making a song on the millets came to her mind last year when she met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi after her first Grammy win for the album 'A Colourful World'. PM advised her to write a song with a message to end the woes of hunger and malnourishment during their discussion on the power of music to bring meaningful change in society. During the meeting, an Indian-American singer, whose music blends ancient classical Indian melodies with contemporary Western sounds, "naively" asked the Prime Minister if he could write a song on millets.

Sharing the song on X, earlier this year, singer Falu said, "Abundance in Millets" a song inspired by PM Narendra Modi's proposition to the UN to declare 2023 as the International Year of Millets. Honoured to collaborate with him, write a song to promote millet, help farmers grow it and help end world hunger."
Previously, the Prime Minister commended Shah for her song which promotes awareness about the health and environmental benefits of millet. Prime Minister Modi also praised her for fostering connections between the people of India and the US through her musical contributions. The Prime Minister unveiled the album cover of the song "Abundance in Millets" during his four-day visit to the US in June this year.
