Union Minister Smriti Irani while addressing a gathering at a FICCI event discussing the “Future Role of Women in India,” made a significant statement, emphasizing that certain indices, like the Global Hunger Index, are intentionally skewed and do not accurately represent India's progress. 3000 people from a country of 140 crore get a phone call from Gallup and they are asked, 'Are you hungry'?” It is to be further noted that in the recently released Global Hunger Index-2023, India found itself ranked 111th out of 125 countries. She slammed, “I don’t know what’s more shameful - your level of ignorance or your insensitivity at display here?” Shrinate informed, “Madam Minister, a country’s Global Hunger Index is very heavily based on 4 indicators- Undernourishment, Child Stunting, Child Wasting, and Child Mortality.” The index, unveiled on Thursday, also drew attention to India's highest child wasting rate globally, standing at a concerning 18.7%, indicative of severe undernutrition. According to the government release, the proportion of child wasting, as seen on its Poshan tracker, has been consistently below 7.2% month-on-month, as compared to 18.7% in the Global Hunger Index 2023.
