The name of the song is "Abundance in Millets" and it has been nominated in the Best Global Music Performance category. It has been composed and sung by Gaurav Shah and Falguni Shah (Falu). The song includes a segment of the prime minister's speech on the significance of millets and the necessity of incorporating them into our diets. The prime minister's message about the health benefits of consuming millets is conveyed through music in the song.

The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has declared Year 2023 as the "International Year of Millets," a proposal brought forward by India, supported by 72 Countries and endorsed by the 75th Session of the United Nations General Assembly. Millets are traditionally considered secure crops for farmers due to their resilience and adaptability to various climates, including drought conditions.

India, being one of the largest producers of millets, produces all nine commonly known traditional millets. Millets are small-grained, warm-weather cereals that were once a staple in India. Millets, such as Sorghum, Pear Millet, Finger Millet, Foxtail Millet, Little Millet, Browntop Millet, Proso Millet, Barnyard Millet, and Kodo Millet have been a part of the Indian diet for centuries. However, during the Green Revolution, the focus was on high-yield crops to make India self-sufficient in food and so millets were slowly marginalized post green revolution era. 'Abundance in Millets' aims to raise awareness about the potential of this supergrain in minimizing world hunger.

Nominations in Best Global Music Performance Category are:

  • Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer & Shahzad Ismaily - Shadow Forces
  • Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer & Zakir Hussain Featuring Rakesh Chaurasia - Pashto
  • Burna Boy - Alone
  • Davido - Feel
  • Falu & Gaurav Shah (Featuring PM Narendra Modi) - Abundance in Millets
  • Ibrahim Maalouf Featuring Cimafunk & Tank and the Bangas - Todo Colores
  • Silvana Estrada - Milagro y Disastre
Let us see when it will take us in the global Entertainment? Either it will win or not that is other side but the nomination itself is the symbol of recognition in the Global Music Industry.
