India slips to 107th position in Global Hunger Index, government alleges bias

The Hindu  

Published : Nov 03, 2022 10:25 IST The Global Hunger Index report of 2022, published in mid October, shows India’s place to have fallen to 107 from the previous year’s 101, out of 121 countries. “India has made significant progress in the fight against hunger since 2000, but the regression or stagnation that has occurred in child wasting cannot be denied and must be acknowledged,” she said. In 44 countries hunger levels are “serious” or “alarming” and in 22 others the GHI scores have plummeted since 2014. For instance, Timor Leste with a GHI score considered “serious” has the highest levels of stunting in the world; India has the highest rates of wasting at 19.3 per cent, while Haiti and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea have high undernourishment rates.
