India ranks 94 in hunger index far below even Nepal
October 19, 2020

India ranks 94 among 107 nations in the Global Hunger Index 2020 and is in the serious hunger category.

The website of the Global Hunger Index, that tracks hunger and malnutrition, said the experts blamed poor implementation processes, lack of effective monitoring and siloed approach in tackling malnutrition for the low ranking.

According to the report, 14 percent of India’s population is undernourished. Last year, India’s rank was 102 out of 117 countries.

The report is embarrassment to Modi-led fascist Indian government which boasts about so-called conquests in different fields.
