"On June 16, 2023, Falu and Gaurav Shah will release the track 'Abundance in Millets' featuring the Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi in celebration of the International Year of the Millets." "Abundance in Millets' was created to raise awareness of the super grain as a potential key to reducing world hunger," according to a statement on Falu's website.
"Abundance in Millets" is a song inspired by PM @narendramodi 's proposition to the @UN to declare 2023 as the International Year of Millets. Honored to collaborate with him, write a song to promote millets, help farmers grow it & help end world hunger," Falu sent out a tweet.
Prime Minister Modi responded to her tweet with, "Excellent effort @FaluMusic! Shree Ann or millets contain an abundance of health and well-being."Through this song, creativity has merged with an important cause of food security and hunger eradication," Prime Minister Modi tweeted.
Falu, who won the Grammy Award for Best Children's Album in 2022 for her album A Colourful World, said the idea for a song about millets came to her when she met Modi in New Delhi after her Grammy win last year.
The New York-based artist emphasised that the song's goal is to promote millets and encourage farmers to grow more of them in order to help end hunger in various parts of the world.
Millets were one of the first crops to be domesticated in India, with evidence of their consumption dating back to the Indus Valley civilisation.
Millets are now grown in over 130 countries and are considered a traditional food for over half a billion people in Asia and Africa.
