What is this index?
Through this index, the achievements and failures of the ongoing campaign against hunger are shown around the world. This report has been prepared jointly by Ireland's aid agency Concern Worldwide and Germany's organization Welt Hunger Hilfe. The report has raised concerns about the level of hunger in India. In the year 2020, India was ranked 94 in the list of 107 countries. According to the report, India's GHI score has come down. It was 38.8 in the year 2000, which decreased to 28.8-27.5 between 2012 and 2021.
How is GHI Score Determined?
The GHI score is determined on the basis of four indicators – undernutrition, child wasting (children under five who are underweight for their height, indicating acute malnutrition), child stunting (under five years of age). age children whose height is short for age, indicating chronic malnutrition) and child mortality (mortality rate of children under five years of age).
Higher GHI means there is more problem of hunger in that country. Similarly, if the score of a country is low, it means that the situation is better there.
