India's ranking in Global Hunger Index driven by incorrect record: Expert

-ANI Asia/ Business Standard

India ranked 107 out of 121 countries in the Global Hunger Index 2022, slipping 6 ranks and an expert believes that the ranking had been driven almost entirely by an incorrectly recorded rise

India ranked 107 out of 121 countries in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2022, slipping 6 ranks and an expert believes that the ranking had been driven almost entirely by an incorrectly recorded rise in the number of children who have low body weight for their height.

Dr Salvatore Babones, Associate Professor of Sociology, at the University of Sydney said that India's performance on GHI 2022 "has been driven almost entirely by an incorrectly recorded rise in the number of children who have low body weight for their height, a phenomenon called 'wasting'," according to Amit Sarwal writing in The Australia Today.

In the recent report of the Global Hunger Index, India ranked 107 out of 121 countries with its child-wasting rate at 19.3 per cent, being the highest in the world.
