&lt;em&gt;IFPRI&amp;rsquo;s latest Global Hunger Index shows that under-nutrition has decreased rather than increased in India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Washington-based International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has ranked India at the 100th position among 119 countries in its 2017 Global Hunger Index (GHI) rankings. India has had a higher rank in previous versions of these rankings. These findings have created an impression that the prevalence of hunger has increased in India in recent years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A closer looks at the numbers suggests that such conclusions are unwarranted. To start with, the numbers reflect under-nutrition rather than hunger. And even on that score, India&amp;rsquo;s performance, as measured by IFPRI, has been improving over the past decade although its nutritional indicators still appear poor compared to those of its peers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2017 GHI rankings are based on the percentage of under-nourished population and three health indicators for children aged less than five years: wasting (low weight for height); stunting (low height for age) and mortality. The actual score is a weighted average of standardized values of these four indicators. Under-nourishment and under-five mortality have a weight of one-third while stunting and wasting have one-sixth weights each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The standardization procedure converts each of these values into a percentage figure based on the difference between the values and the maximum value each variable attained in the period 1983-2012. For example, the highest value of undernourished population was 76.5% during this period. The standardized value of prevalence of hunger is taken as percentage share of 80. The GHI can take values between zero to hundred. Zero would indicate absence of any of the four indicators, while hundred would indicate the worst possible situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This standardization procedure has been used for the first time in GHI scores. The 2017 report also gives standardization based scores for 1992, 2000 and 2008 in addition to 2017. India has reduced its GHI score from 46.2 to 31.4 between 1992 and 2017. This means that the problem of under-nutrition has actually gone down.&lt;br /&gt;

Under-nourishment and under-five mortality have a weight of one-third while stunting and wasting have one-sixth weights each.<br /><br />The standardization procedure converts each of these values into a percentage figure based on the difference between the values and the maximum value each variable attained in the period 1983-2012.

IFPRI&amp;rsquo;s latest Global Hunger Index shows that under-nutrition has decreased rather than increased in India

The Washington-based International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has ranked India at the 100th position among 119 countries in its 2017 Global Hunger Index (GHI) rankings....&#039;
$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-Livemint.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;IFPRI&amp;rsquo;s latest Global Hunger Index shows that under-nutrition has decreased rather than increased in India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Washington-based International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has ranked India at the 100th position among 119 countries in its 2017 Global Hunger Index (GHI) rankings. India has had a higher rank in previous versions of these rankings. These findings have created an impression that the prevalence of hunger has increased in India in recent years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A closer looks at the numbers suggests that such conclusions are unwarranted. To start with, the numbers reflect under-nutrition rather than hunger. And even on that score, India&amp;rsquo;s performance, as measured by IFPRI, has been improving over the past decade although its nutritional indicators still appear poor compared to those of its peers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2017 GHI rankings are based on the percentage of under-nourished population and three health indicators for children aged less than five years: wasting (low weight for height); stunting (low height for age) and mortality. The actual score is a weighted average of standardized values of these four indicators. Under-nourishment and under-five mortality have a weight of one-third while stunting and wasting have one-sixth weights each.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The standardization procedure converts each of these values into a percentage figure based on the difference between the values and the maximum value each variable attained in the period 1983-2012. For example, the highest value of undernourished population was 76.5% during this period. The standardized value of prevalence of hunger is taken as percentage share of 80. The GHI can take values between zero to hundred. Zero would indicate absence of any of the four indicators, while hundred would indicate the worst possible situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This standardization procedure has been used for the first time in GHI scores. The 2017 report also gives standardization based scores for 1992, 2000 and 2008 in addition to 2017. India has reduced its GHI score from 46.2 to 31.4 between 1992 and 2017. This means that the problem of under-nutrition has actually gone down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Politics/BtfY17R4MuhVz4t5o3mwZJ/Has-hunger-increased-in-India-in-recent-years.html&quot; title=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Politics/BtfY17R4MuhVz4t5o3mwZJ/Has-hunger-increased-in-India-in-recent-years.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

Under-nourishment and under-five mortality have a weight of one-third while stunting and wasting have one-sixth weights each.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The standardization procedure converts each of these values into a percentage figure based on the difference between the values and the maximum value each variable attained in the period 1983-2012. For example, the highest value of undernourished population was 76.5% during this period. The standardized value of prevalence of hunger is taken as percentage share of 80. The GHI can take values between zero to hundred. Zero would indicate absence of any of the four indicators, while hundred would indicate the worst possible situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This standardization procedure has been used for the first time in GHI scores. The 2017 report also gives standardization based scores for 1992, 2000 and 2008 in addition to 2017. India has reduced its GHI score from 46.2 to 31.4 between 1992 and 2017. This means that the problem of under-nutrition has actually gone down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Politics/BtfY17R4MuhVz4t5o3mwZJ/Has-hunger-increased-in-India-in-recent-years.html&quot; title=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Politics/BtfY17R4MuhVz4t5o3mwZJ/Has-hunger-increased-in-India-in-recent-years.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;,

&lt;em&gt;IFPRI&amp;rsquo;s latest Global Hunger Index shows that under-nutrition has decreased rather than increased in India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Washington-based International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has ranked India at the 100th position among 119 countries in its 2017 Global Hunger Index (GHI) rankings. India has had a higher rank in previous versions of these rankings. These findings have created an impression that the prevalence of hunger has increased in India in recent years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A closer looks at the numbers suggests that such conclusions are unwarranted. To start with, the numbers reflect under-nutrition rather than hunger. And even on that score, India&amp;rsquo;s performance, as measured by IFPRI, has been improving over the past decade although its nutritional indicators still appear poor compared to those of its peers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2017 GHI rankings are based on the percentage of under-nourished population and three health indicators for children aged less than five years: wasting (low weight for height); stunting (low height for age) and mortality. The actual score is a weighted average of standardized values of these four indicators. Under-nourishment and under-five mortality have a weight of one-third while stunting and wasting have one-sixth weights each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The standardization procedure converts each of these values into a percentage figure based on the difference between the values and the maximum value each variable attained in the period 1983-2012. For example, the highest value of undernourished population was 76.5% during this period. The standardized value of prevalence of hunger is taken as percentage share of 80. The GHI can take values between zero to hundred. Zero would indicate absence of any of the four indicators, while hundred would indicate the worst possible situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This standardization procedure has been used for the first time in GHI scores. The 2017 report also gives standardization based scores for 1992, 2000 and 2008 in addition to 2017. India has reduced its GHI score from 46.2 to 31.4 between 1992 and 2017. This means that the problem of under-nutrition has actually gone down.&lt;br /&gt;

Has hunger increased in India in recent years? -Roshan Kishore

-Livemint.com IFPRI’s latest Global Hunger Index shows that under-nutrition has decreased rather than increased in India The Washington-based International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has ranked India at the 100th position among 119 countries in its 2017 Global Hunger Index (GHI) rankings. India has had a higher rank in previous versions of these rankings. These findings have created an impression that the prevalence of hunger has increased in India in recent years. A closer looks at the numbers suggests that such conclusions are unwarranted. To start with, the numbers reflect under-nutrition rather than hunger. And even on that score, India’s performance, as measured by IFPRI, has been improving over the past decade although its nutritional indicators still appear poor compared to those of its peers. The 2017 GHI rankings are based on the percentage of under-nourished population and three health indicators for children aged less than five years: wasting (low weight for height); stunting (low height for age) and mortality. The actual score is a weighted average of standardized values of these four indicators. Under-nourishment and under-five mortality have a weight of one-third while stunting and wasting have one-sixth weights each. The standardization procedure converts each of these values into a percentage figure based on the difference between the values and the maximum value each variable attained in the period 1983-2012.
