In the Global Hunger Index, India is ranked 102 behind the neighbor nation in the list of 117 countries. From 0 to 100 points where 0 is the best and 100 the worst. India gets 30.3 and is ranked behind Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
“With a score of 30.3, India suffers from a level of hunger that is serious,” the report says.
India was ranked 55 in the report in 2014 when the total countries were 100. Since then the countries varies but India ranks kept decreasing in the index. In 2017, India was 100 out of 119 countries, and 103 out of 119 countries in 2018. This year it is 102 out of 117.
The most frightening thing is that if you remove 8 states from India (5 south Indian states, Maharashtra, Punjab and Bengal) then India’s ranking goes to 117. The most lowest.
