Investigate the reasons contributing to India's ranking in the 'serious' category in the Global Hunger Index 2024.
India's ranking under the 'serious' category in the Global Hunger Index 2024 can be attributed to several key factors:
  • Persistent high levels of child undernutrition
  • Inadequate access to nutritious food for vulnerable populations
  • Poor sanitation and hygiene practices leading to high rates of stunting and wasting
  • Lack of effective government programs addressing malnutrition
  • Income inequality and poverty impacting food security for many households
  • Climate change-related challenges affecting food production and distribution
These factors together highlight the complex and multi-faceted nature of the issue of hunger in India, emphasizing the need for comprehensive and sustained efforts to address food insecurity and malnutrition in the country.
