-Press Statement from International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent reports that India&amp;rsquo;s ranking in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) has fallen significantly are based on misinterpretations of the GHI data. This has created a misunderstanding of hunger levels in India. The accurate interpretation of the GHI data is described below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Global Hunger Index report has always made it clear that year on year comparisons of a country&amp;rsquo;s scores, or indicators would not be accurate for several reasons &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp; chief among them being that GHI scores are based on current and historical data that are continuously being revised and improved by the United Nations agencies that compile them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These revisions ensure the most accurate depiction of current and historical hunger levels in a given country, and each year&amp;rsquo;s GHI report reflects these changes. As a result, GHI scores from different years&amp;rsquo; reports are not directly comparable with one another. In addition to this ongoing revision of data, the methodology used for calculating the GHI changed in 2015, along with the GHI Severity Scale. Scores from 2014 or earlier are thus not at all comparable to scores in the reports from 2015 or later. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India&amp;rsquo;s 2014 GHI rank of 55 and 2014 GHI score of 17.8, as published in the 2014 GHI report, are not comparable to the 2017 GHI rank of 100 and corresponding GHI score of 31.4. Concluding from this comparison that India slipped 45 places in the GHI ranking is not only erroneous but also a gross misrepresentation of facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, countries with GHI scores of less than 5 (&amp;ldquo;low&amp;rdquo;) were not included in the ranking in in the 2014 GHI report. Thus, in the 2014 report, 44 countries with scores lower than India&amp;rsquo;s were not included. Had those countries been included, India&amp;rsquo;s 2014 ranking would have been not 55, but 99.&amp;nbsp; Finally, due to data availability, different countries are included in the GHI ranking each year, again making a comparison of rankings between years inaccurate.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-Press Statement from International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recent reports that India&amp;rsquo;s ranking in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) has fallen significantly are based on misinterpretations of the GHI data. This has created a misunderstanding of hunger levels in India. The accurate interpretation of the GHI data is described below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Global Hunger Index report has always made it clear that year on year comparisons of a country&amp;rsquo;s scores, or indicators would not be accurate for several reasons &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp; chief among them being that GHI scores are based on current and historical data that are continuously being revised and improved by the United Nations agencies that compile them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These revisions ensure the most accurate depiction of current and historical hunger levels in a given country, and each year&amp;rsquo;s GHI report reflects these changes. As a result, GHI scores from different years&amp;rsquo; reports are not directly comparable with one another. In addition to this ongoing revision of data, the methodology used for calculating the GHI changed in 2015, along with the GHI Severity Scale. Scores from 2014 or earlier are thus not at all comparable to scores in the reports from 2015 or later. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;India&amp;rsquo;s 2014 GHI rank of 55 and 2014 GHI score of 17.8, as published in the 2014 GHI report, are not comparable to the 2017 GHI rank of 100 and corresponding GHI score of 31.4. Concluding from this comparison that India slipped 45 places in the GHI ranking is not only erroneous but also a gross misrepresentation of facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, countries with GHI scores of less than 5 (&amp;ldquo;low&amp;rdquo;) were not included in the ranking in in the 2014 GHI report. Thus, in the 2014 report, 44 countries with scores lower than India&amp;rsquo;s were not included. Had those countries been included, India&amp;rsquo;s 2014 ranking would have been not 55, but 99.&amp;nbsp; Finally, due to data availability, different countries are included in the GHI ranking each year, again making a comparison of rankings between years inaccurate.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ifpri.org/news-release/interpreting-indias-performance-global-hunger-index&quot; title=&quot;https://www.ifpri.org/news-release/interpreting-indias-performance-global-hunger-index&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

-Press Statement from International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent reports that India&amp;rsquo;s ranking in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) has fallen significantly are based on misinterpretations of the GHI data. This has created a misunderstanding of hunger levels in India. The accurate interpretation of the GHI data is described below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Global Hunger Index report has always made it clear that year on year comparisons of a country&amp;rsquo;s scores, or indicators would not be accurate for several reasons &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp; chief among them being that GHI scores are based on current and historical data that are continuously being revised and improved by the United Nations agencies that compile them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These revisions ensure the most accurate depiction of current and historical hunger levels in a given country, and each year&amp;rsquo;s GHI report reflects these changes. As a result, GHI scores from different years&amp;rsquo; reports are not directly comparable with one another. In addition to this ongoing revision of data, the methodology used for calculating the GHI changed in 2015, along with the GHI Severity Scale. Scores from 2014 or earlier are thus not at all comparable to scores in the reports from 2015 or later. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India&amp;rsquo;s 2014 GHI rank of 55 and 2014 GHI score of 17.8, as published in the 2014 GHI report, are not comparable to the 2017 GHI rank of 100 and corresponding GHI score of 31.4. Concluding from this comparison that India slipped 45 places in the GHI ranking is not only erroneous but also a gross misrepresentation of facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, countries with GHI scores of less than 5 (&amp;ldquo;low&amp;rdquo;) were not included in the ranking in in the 2014 GHI report. Thus, in the 2014 report, 44 countries with scores lower than India&amp;rsquo;s were not included. Had those countries been included, India&amp;rsquo;s 2014 ranking would have been not 55, but 99.&amp;nbsp; Finally, due to data availability, different countries are included in the GHI ranking each year, again making a comparison of rankings between years inaccurate.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

<br />
Recent reports that India&rsquo;s ranking in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) has fallen significantly are based on misinterpretations of the GHI data. This has created a misunderstanding of hunger levels in India. The accurate interpretation of the GHI data is described below.<br />
<br />
The Global Hunger Index report has always made it clear that year on year comparisons of a country&rsquo;s scores, or indicators would not be accurate for several reasons &ndash;&nbsp; chief among them being that GHI scores are based on current and historical data that are continuously being revised and improved by the United Nations agencies that compile them.<br />
<br />
These revisions ensure the most accurate depiction of current and historical hunger levels in a given country, and each year&rsquo;s GHI report reflects these changes. As a result, GHI scores from different years&rsquo; reports are not directly comparable with one another. In addition to this ongoing revision of data, the methodology used for calculating the GHI changed in 2015, along with the GHI Severity Scale. Scores from 2014 or earlier are thus not at all comparable to scores in the reports from 2015 or later. <br />
<br />
India&rsquo;s 2014 GHI rank of 55 and 2014 GHI score of 17.8, as published in the 2014 GHI report, are not comparable to the 2017 GHI rank of 100 and corresponding GHI score of 31.4. Concluding from this comparison that India slipped 45 places in the GHI ranking is not only erroneous but also a gross misrepresentation of facts.<br />

Interpreting India's Performance on the Global Hunger Index

-Press Statement from International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) Recent reports that India’s ranking in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) has fallen significantly are based on misinterpretations of the GHI data. This has created a misunderstanding of hunger levels in India. The accurate interpretation of the GHI data is described below. The Global Hunger Index report has always made it clear that year on year comparisons of a country’s scores, or indicators would not be accurate for several reasons –  chief among them being that GHI scores are based on current and historical data that are continuously being revised and improved by the United Nations agencies that compile them. These revisions ensure the most accurate depiction of current and historical hunger levels in a given country, and each year’s GHI report reflects these changes. As a result, GHI scores from different years’ reports are not directly comparable with one another. In addition to this ongoing revision of data, the methodology used for calculating the GHI changed in 2015, along with the GHI Severity Scale. Scores from 2014 or earlier are thus not at all comparable to scores in the reports from 2015 or later. India’s 2014 GHI rank of 55 and 2014 GHI score of 17.8, as published in the 2014 GHI report, are not comparable to the 2017 GHI rank of 100 and corresponding GHI score of 31.4. Concluding from this comparison that India slipped 45 places in the GHI ranking is not only erroneous but also a gross misrepresentation of facts. In addition, countries with GHI scores of less than 5 (“low”) were not included in the ranking in in the 2014 GHI report. Thus, in the 2014 report, 44 countries with scores lower than India’s were not included. Had those countries been included, India’s 2014 ranking would have been not 55, but 99.  Finally, due to data availability, different countries are included in the GHI ranking each year, again making a comparison of rankings between years inaccurate.      Please click here to read more.
