KEY POINTS
The Global Hunger Report (GHR) ranks India at 101 out of 116 countries, with the country falling in the category of having a serious hunger situation.
The indicators
· The GHI is based on four indicators percentage of undernourished in the population ;percentage of children under five years who suffer from wasting; percentage of children under five years who suffer from stunting, and percentage of children who die before the age of five.
· The first and the last indicators have a weight of one-third each and the two child malnutrition indicators account for one-sixth weightage each in the final GHI.
Shortcomings
· They have based their assessment on the results of a four question opinion poll, which was conducted telephonically by Gallup, is not based on facts.
· The situation of food insecurity at the end of the year 2020 was concerning, and things are most likely to have become worse after the second wave.
· Services such as the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) and school mid-day meals continue to be disrupted in most areas.
· So there can be a huge deviations in the collection of data.
· The argument that the GHI is an indicator of under nutrition and not hunger, is only diverting attention away from more substantial issues.
