Welthungerhilfe (WHH), a German NGO and co-publisher of the Global Hunger Index (GHI) said that the Gallup opinion poll is not used by GHI, instead undernourishment is measured using data officially presented by India to the UN.

New Delhi: Welthungerhilfe (WHH), a German NGO and co-publisher of the Global Hunger Index (GHI) -- a peer reviewed report on hunger and malnutrition -- has refuted New Delhi's claim that India's fall in ranking was based on an opinion poll conducted by Gallup. The government on Friday made the allegation after India's ranking dropped seven places in the GHI report that was released last week. Out of 116 countries, India stands at 101 -- behind all neighboring countries except Afghanistan -- dropping from the 94th position out of 107 countries in 2020.
In an email to NDTV, WHH said that the Gallup opinion poll is not used by GHI, instead undernourishment is measured using data officially presented by India to the UN.

"Global Hunger Index uses only a 'prevalence of undernourishment' indicator... obtained through carefully constructed food balance sheets which are primarily based on data officially reported by the member countries including India," said Miriam Weimers, Advisor, Global Hunger Index.

Food Balance Sheets, according to the UN, "present a comprehensive picture of the pattern of a country's food supply" by tracking each commodity's sources of supply and utilization.
