&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The methodology used to calculate the Global Hunger Index - a peer-reviewed annual report followed worldwide - is unscientific, the government claimed on Friday after India slipped to the 101st position behind its neighbours Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;It is shocking to find that the Global Hunger Report 2021 has lowered the rank of India on the basis of FAO (UN&amp;#39;s Food and Agriculture Organization) estimate on proportion of undernourished population, which is found to be devoid of ground reality and facts and suffers from serious methodological issues.

There is no scientific methodology to measure undernourishment like availability of food grains per capita during the period.

"Unscientific Methodology": Centre On India Slipping In Global Hunger Report

-NDTV.com The Global Hunger Index report, prepared jointly by Irish aid agency Concern Worldwide and German organisation Welt Hunger Hilfe, termed the level of hunger in India "alarming".  New Delhi: The methodology used to calculate the Global Hunger Index - a peer-reviewed annual report followed worldwide - is unscientific, the government claimed on Friday after India slipped to the 101st position behind its neighbours Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. "It is shocking to find that the Global Hunger Report 2021 has lowered the rank of India on the basis of FAO (UN's Food and Agriculture Organization) estimate on proportion of undernourished population, which is found to be devoid of ground reality and facts and suffers from serious methodological issues. The publishing agencies of the Global Hunger Report, Concern Worldwide and Welt Hunger Hilfe, have not done their due diligence before releasing the report," the government said in a statement. "The methodology used by FAO is unscientific. They have based their assessment on the results of a 'four question' opinion poll, which was conducted telephonically by Gallup. There is no scientific methodology to measure undernourishment like availability of food grains per capita during the period. The scientific measurement of undernourishment would require measurement of weight and height, whereas the methodology involved here is based on Gallup poll based on pure telephonic estimate of the population," it said.
