Data Collection On Global Hunger Index 2021 Flawed: Arvind Panagariya, Professor Of Economics, Columbia University To Kailashnath Adhikari, MD, Governance Now

ABP News  

Rubbishing India’s poor ranking in the recently released Global Hunger Index 2021, wherein India has slipped to 101st position below Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh, Arvind Panagariya, professor of economics at Columbia University and former vice chairman, NITI Ayog has said that data collection and methodologies used for Global Hunger Index 2021 are flawed. you are relying on so little information and in effect countries that have minimal information determine the basis of the construction of your index itself.” The former economist at the Asian Development Bank said he does not look at indexes and that he had earlier also written a column that three different methodologies were being used to collect data and all were flawed. Panagariya said that India’s own survey is done by NSSO which is more reliable and has a history of asking people “how many days during the year did you go without a meal or empty stomach hungry to bed etc., and those numbers are also recorded in columns by Swaminathan Iyer and others. While responding to a question on how confident he felt about IMF, Moody’s, S&P as well as RBI, and others pegging India’s growth to 9.3% to 9.5% in 2021, Panagariya said the Pandemic is extremely difficult to predict.
