India has ranked 107 out of 121 countries in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2022, the peer-reviewed annual report, jointly published by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe

New Delhi: India has ranked 107 out of 121 countries in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2022. The peer-reviewed annual report, jointly published by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe, termed the level of hunger in India as ‘serious’ as its GHI score is 29.1. India’s neighbours performed better in GHI 2022 with Nepal ranked 81, Sri Lanka 64, Bangladesh 84 and Pakistan at 99. In 2021, India secured the 101st position among 116 countries assessed. Important to note, GHI scores are comparable within each year’s report, but not between different years’ reports because of updated data, changing methodology and the number of countries being assessed each year. However, GHI scores of 2000, 2007, 2014, and 2022 are all comparable because they all reflect the revised methodology and the latest revisions of data.

In 2000, India’s GHI score was 38.8 which as per the report was alarming. Seven years later, the GHI score dropped to 36.3, still in an alarming category. In 2014, the GHI score was reported to be 28.2 but in 2022, a reverse trend is seen with the GHI score shooting up to 29.1.
