‘Abdundance in Millets’, a song which also features Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been nominated for this year’s Grammy’s.

The song has been composed sung by Falguni Shah and Gaurav Shah. It has been written by both the singers along with Kenya Autie, Greg Gonzalez and Soumya Chatterjee. Autie has produced the music video as well.

The song was launched to boost awareness around the importance of millets. The world is observing 2023 as the International Year of Millets.

PM Modi appears in the video talking about the importance of adapting millets as part of the lifestyle. He says it will benefit the farmers of the country.

“Very creative and will inspire more people to embrace millets for healthy living!” PM Modi had wrote about the song on social media platform X.

Recently, the prime minister in his address at the World Food India 2023 had termed millets as part of India’s ‘Super Food Bucket’.

“In India, we have given it (millets) the identity of Sri Anna. On the initiative of India, today once again an awareness campaign regarding millets has started in the world. I believe that just as International Yoga Day took Yoga to every corner of the world, now Millets will also reach every corner of the world,” PM Modi was quoted by ANI as saying.

Millets are also the most secure crops for small farmers as they are resilient and climate-adaptable in both hot and drought environments. India produces all the nine commonly known traditional millets viz. Sorghum, Pearl Millet, Finger Millet, Foxtail Millet, Proso Millet, Little Millet, Barnyard Millet, Browntop Millet and Kodo Millet.

Millet is a common term for categorizing small-seeded grasses that are often called Nutri-cereals. Most of the states in India grow one or more millet crop species.
