Is there anyone starving to death in India now?

Among all the countries with 12 1, India's hunger index score is 29. 1, which is at the level of "severe" hunger, ranking only 107, ranking six places lower than last year. The malnutrition rate in India is not only higher than 20 14 years (15. 1%), but even higher than that in 2000 (17. 15%). From 20 19 to 202 1 year, 16.3% of Indians suffered from chronic malnutrition.

In India, a big food exporter, people are suffering from hunger.

The total population of India is1400 million, but the malnutrition rate is higher than 175438+05, which means that more than 200 million people are starving.

The recent food security in India is really not optimistic. A report on World Food Security and Nutrition released on July 6th shows that from 20 19 to 20021year, about 40.6% of the population in India suffered from moderate or severe food shortage. India alone accounts for 37% of the world's severely food-deficit population, and the number of chronically hungry people reaches 224 million.
