Neighbouring countries like Nepal (ranked 76), Bangladesh (76), Myanmar (71) and Pakistan (92), which are still ahead of India at feeding its citizens, are also in the alarmingly low hunger rates category, which is making some Indian government officials concerned. Indian citizens have been severely hit by COVID-19 and by pandemic related restrictions in India making the country the highest child wasting rate worldwide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is important because many people including myself find it a little shocking that they have lowered the rank of India on the basis of FAO estimate on proportion of undernourished population which is found to be &#8220;devoid of ground reality and facts, and suffers from serious methodological issues&#8221;. The lasting impacts of this is that global hunger will continue to decrease with population increasing, worsening conflict, weather extremes associated with global climate change, and the economic and health challenges associated with Covid-19. Indian government officials dismissed their Global Hunger Index because they said: &#8220;report completely disregards government\u2019s massive effort to ensure food security of the entire population during the Covid period, verifiable data on which are available&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This relates to what we talked about in class about NGOs. It mentions in the article that Non-governmental organizations like the The Akshaya Patra have been aiming to feed more teenagers than they have done in the past especially, since children have been the biggest reason for India&#8217;s spike in the Global Hunger Index. Overall this shouldn&#8217;t negatively impact India since in less than a month they will be reopening their border with no barriers therefore improving the economy tremendously, which will improve their hunger crisis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/india\/global-hunger-index-2021-india-slips-to-101st-spot-behind-pakistan-bangladesh-nepal-7572109\/ This article is about how India is now behind its neighbours Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal.
