[#India] Global Hunger Index and India Rank - 2017

Do not get fooled into believing that India is doing all great and is soon to become a Super Power. We are still a poor starving country where children suffer the most. And do not believe it is Government's job alone to make India what it should become.

Global Hunger Index is based on 4 indicators: % of undernourished population; % of children under 5 suffering from wasting (low weight-for-height); % of children under 5 suffering from stunting (low height-for-age) and % of child mortality.

In 2017, India ranks poorly at #100 among 119 countries; down from #97 last year and #55 in 2014 (when Modi ji came to power). A sinking feeling.
