Digital Desk: India fell from 101 to 107 on the Global Hunger Index (GHI) in 2022. The survey was held among 121 countries, behind its neighbors Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal.

Last year, the central government rejected the Global Hunger Index report and said that the publishing agencies had not done their "due diligence".

Countries ranked below India on the GHI are Zambia, Afghanistan, Timor-Leste, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Lesotho, Liberia, Niger, Haiti, Chad, and the Dem. Rep. of the Congo, Madagascar, Central African Republic, and Yemen.

In the report, Congress MP P Chidambaram, quoting the report, said our score has dropped further since 2014 in the 8 years of the Narendra Modi-led government.

"When will the Honourable PM address real issues like malnutrition, hunger, and stunting and wasting among children?" he asked on Twitter. 

The report says that the level of hunger in India is dangerous.

As per reports, the data used for the measurement has been taken from various UN and other government agencies, including UNICEF, the World Bank, and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the report said.
