The central government has said that the fall of India’s ranking in the Global Hunger Index is shocking. The government has said that the method of making it is unscientific. Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2021) India is ranked 101st out of 116 countries. It is also below Pakistan, Bangladesh Nepal.
‘Report away from ground reality and facts’
Responding to this ranking, the Ministry of Women and Child Development said that it is shocking that India’s rank in the Global Hunger Index 2021 was lowered on the basis of the estimates given by the FAO on the proportion of malnourished population. While this estimate is far from the ground reality and facts. There are serious problems in the way of making it. The Global Hunger Index has been prepared jointly by Concern Worldwide, an Ireland-based agency, and Welt Hunger Hilfe, a German-based organization. In this, India has also been placed below its neighboring countries Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Myanmar in terms of hunger.

The government said, the report has been prepared in an unscientific manner.
According to the ministry, the FAO’s method of measuring hunger is grossly unscientific. He has prepared his assessment on the basis of the results of an open poll conducted on “four questions”. This survey was also done by a survey agency named Gallop via telephone. The grain available per person in a particular time period can be easily measured. But undernutrition in a given period cannot be measured without adopting any scientific method.
