 What Does It State About India?

  • India has a "serious" level of hunger, ranking 105th out of 127 countries with a score of 27.3.

Key statistics include:

  • 13.7% of the population is undernourished.

  • 35.5% of children are stunted (chronically undernourished).

  • 18.7% of children are wasted (acute malnutrition).

  • 2.9% of children die before their fifth birthday.

  • India has the highest child wasting rate globally

  • The report acknowledges India's efforts through initiatives like the National Food Security Act but indicates room for improvement, particularly in maternal nutrition impacting child health.


What About India’s GDP Growth?

  • The report highlights that increased GDP growth does not guarantee improved food security for all.

  • It emphasizes the need for policies focused on pro-poor development and addressing social and economic inequalities.

What Solutions Does It Propose?

  • Improve programs like the Public Distribution Scheme (PDS) and cash transfers.

  • Focus on specific nutritional needs, especially for mothers and children.

  • Promote diversified, nutritious, and ecological food production, including nutri-cereals like millets.

  • Enhance water, sanitation, hygiene, and overall health interventions.

  • Address connections between food, nutrition, gender, and climate change.

What Is the Debate About Data Collection Methodology?

  • The Ministry of Women and Child Development raised concerns about the GHI not using data from the "Poshan Tracker," which suggests lower child wasting rates (below 7.2%).

  • Researchers argue that the GHI relies on vetted survey estimates for consistency across countries.

  • They contend that deviating from established data sources could compromise comparability and accuracy in results.
