Hungry India

IN the 2018 Global Hunger Index (GHI) released on October 11, India stands at 103 among 119 nations, and hunger levels in India are categorised by the report as “serious”.

At least one in five Indian children under the age of five suffer from “wasting” (they have extremely low weight for their height due to acute under-nutrition). The only country with a higher prevalence of child wasting than India is South Sudan.
