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.
