<p style="text-align:justify"><em>As the Supreme Court orders community kitchens for the poor and ration cards made usable anywhere in India by 31 July 2021, that still excludes more than 100 million without ration cards. As hunger rises, and nutrition schemes to women and children are disrupted, we explore what can be done.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><em>New Delhi: </em>The Covid-19 pandemic shrank India&rsquo;s economy by -7.3% in 2020-21, an estimated 66% of those interviewed in one survey lost jobs, the number of those living in poverty is estimated to have doubled to 134 million, more than the populations of Germany and South Korea combined, and the earnings of 230 million sank below the minimum wage.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">As the scale of India&rsquo;s unemployment and poverty crisis became apparent, the Supreme Court on 29 June 2021 set a month&rsquo;s deadline to implement a one-nation-one-ration-card system, so that about 690 million registered for food subsidies can get such food anywhere in the country. But that still leaves out more than 100 million who need subsidised food but do not have the ration cards required to get it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The Supreme Court also ordered the finalisation of a database of Indian migrant workers, many of whom now struggle to put food on the table. This follows a 24 March order to states to provide dry rations and run community kitchens for millions of workers, at a time when India faces a food-on-the-table crisis unprecedented in recent times.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The first lockdown in 2020, imposed at a four-hour notice, set off a spiral of joblessness and, eventually, hunger. Based on a review of household surveys, a study released on 31 May 2021 by Jean Drèze and Anmol Somanchi found that employment, income and nutrition levels were still much below pre-lockdown levels by the end of 2020.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Over two-thirds of respondents across 11 states in one October 2020 survey, Hunger Watch, conducted by the Right to Food campaign said they were worse off in terms of quantity and quality of food consumed, compared to February 2020.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The second wave and resulting burdens of health expenditure as well as localised lockdowns has once again risked the livelihoods of many. Data from the Centre for the Monitoring of the Indian Economy, show that nearly 17 million daily wage labourers and small traders, such as street vendors, lost employment in May 2021 alone.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The concern that with incomes falling, there could be long term impact on nutrition status is compounded by the fact that malnutrition in India was high even pre-Covid.&nbsp;</p>

As hunger rises, and nutrition schemes to women and children are disrupted, we explore what can be done.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><em>New Delhi: </em>The Covid-19 pandemic shrank India&rsquo;s economy by -7.3% in 2020-21, an estimated 66% of those interviewed in one survey lost jobs, the number of those living in poverty is estimated to have doubled to 134 million, more than the populations of Germany and South Korea combined, and the earnings of 230 million sank below the minimum wage.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">As the scale of India&rsquo;s unemployment and poverty crisis became apparent, the Supreme Court on 29 June 2021 set a month&rsquo;s deadline to implement a one-nation-one-ration-card system, so that about 690 million registered for food subsidies can get such food anywhere in the country. But that still leaves out more than 100 million who need subsidised food but do not have the ration cards required to get it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The Supreme Court also ordered the finalisation of a database of Indian migrant workers, many of whom now struggle to put food on the table. This follows a 24 March order to states to provide dry rations and run community kitchens for millions of workers, at a time when India faces a food-on-the-table crisis unprecedented in recent times.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The first lockdown in 2020, imposed at a four-hour notice, set off a spiral of joblessness and, eventually, hunger. Based on a review of household surveys, a study released on 31 May 2021 by Jean Drèze and Anmol Somanchi found that employment, income and nutrition levels were still much below pre-lockdown levels by the end of 2020.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Over two-thirds of respondents across 11 states in one October 2020 survey, Hunger Watch, conducted by the Right to Food campaign said they were worse off in terms of quantity and quality of food consumed, compared to February 2020.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The second wave and resulting burdens of health expenditure as well as localised lockdowns has once again risked the livelihoods of many. Data from the Centre for the Monitoring of the Indian Economy, show that nearly 17 million daily wage labourers and small traders, such as street vendors, lost employment in May 2021 alone.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The concern that with incomes falling, there could be long term impact on nutrition status is compounded by the fact that malnutrition in India was high even pre-Covid.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><em>New Delhi: </em>The Covid-19 pandemic shrank India’s economy by -7.3% in 2020-21, an estimated 66% of those interviewed in one survey lost jobs, the number of those living in poverty is estimated to have doubled to 134 million, more than the populations of Germany and South Korea combined, and the earnings of 230 million sank below the minimum wage. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify">As the scale of India’s unemployment and poverty crisis became apparent, the Supreme Court on 29 June 2021 set a month’s deadline to implement a one-nation-one-ration-card system, so that about 690 million registered for food subsidies can get such food anywhere in the country. But that still leaves out more than 100 million who need subsidised food but do not have the ration cards required to get it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The Supreme Court also ordered the finalisation of a database of Indian migrant workers, many of whom now struggle to put food on the table. This follows a 24 March order to states to provide dry rations and run community kitchens for millions of workers, at a time when India faces a food-on-the-table crisis unprecedented in recent times. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The first lockdown in 2020, imposed at a four-hour notice, set off a spiral of joblessness and, eventually, hunger. Based on a review of household surveys, a study released on 31 May 2021 by Jean Drèze and Anmol Somanchi found that employment, income and nutrition levels were still much below pre-lockdown levels by the end of 2020. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Over two-thirds of respondents across 11 states in one October 2020 survey, Hunger Watch, conducted by the Right to Food campaign said they were worse off in terms of quantity and quality of food consumed, compared to February 2020. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The second wave and resulting burdens of health expenditure as well as localised lockdowns has once again risked the livelihoods of many. Data from the Centre for the Monitoring of the Indian Economy, show that nearly 17 million daily wage labourers and small traders, such as street vendors, lost employment in May 2021 alone.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The concern that with incomes falling, there could be long term impact on nutrition status is compounded by the fact that malnutrition in India was high even pre-Covid. </p>
