&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the Global Hunger Index (GHI) released last week, India&amp;rsquo;s ranking slipped seven places to a rank of 101 from 94, in over just a year. The index gives a score on a 100 point scale, where zero indicates no hunger and 100 shows an &amp;ldquo;extremely alarming&amp;rdquo; situation. With a score of 27.5, the level of hunger in India is &amp;ldquo;serious&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The COVID-19 pandemic and the socio-economic crisis of &amp;lsquo;access inequality&amp;rsquo; has exacerbated across India (and much of the developing world), and has surely made the situation of &amp;lsquo;access to basic nutrition&amp;rsquo; worse, especially for those positioned at the bottom of the income-and-social pyramid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In an essay written during the early days of the pandemic&amp;rsquo;s first wave, I had then argued &amp;mdash; with some empirical detail &amp;mdash; how &amp;lsquo;nutritional outcomes&amp;rsquo; across India will be severely affected with growing levels of &amp;lsquo;food insecurity&amp;rsquo; and rising poverty, which an ad-hoc (national) lockdown further accentuated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Notwithstanding the sufferings caused by the pandemic &amp;mdash; and the national government&amp;rsquo;s insensitive response to it &amp;mdash; it becomes critical to widen our discourse from just measuring, or analysing the distributive &amp;lsquo;access to food/nutrition&amp;rsquo; in India to also include the broader nature of &amp;lsquo;access inequality&amp;rsquo; as relevant for &amp;lsquo;basic amenities&amp;rsquo; (i.e. roti, kapda, makaan, paani etc.) to populations in states across India.&lt;/p&gt;

‘Unscientific’ or ‘Indifference’: A Look at 'Access Inequality' Data as Govt Slams Hunger Index -Deepanshu Mohan and Richa Sekhani

-TheWire.in If the Union government thinks that the Global Hunger Index’s methodology is ‘unscientific’, here is another Index that shows a troubling picture for the state of ‘Access Inequality in Basic Amenities’ across India. In the Global Hunger Index (GHI) released last week, India’s ranking slipped seven places to a rank of 101 from 94, in over just a year. The index gives a score on a 100 point scale, where zero indicates no hunger and 100 shows an “extremely alarming” situation. With a score of 27.5, the level of hunger in India is “serious”. The COVID-19 pandemic and the socio-economic crisis of ‘access inequality’ has exacerbated across India (and much of the developing world), and has surely made the situation of ‘access to basic nutrition’ worse, especially for those positioned at the bottom of the income-and-social pyramid. In an essay written during the early days of the pandemic’s first wave, I had then argued — with some empirical detail — how ‘nutritional outcomes’ across India will be severely affected with growing levels of ‘food insecurity’ and rising poverty, which an ad-hoc (national) lockdown further accentuated. Notwithstanding the sufferings caused by the pandemic — and the national government’s insensitive response to it — it becomes critical to widen our discourse from just measuring, or analysing the distributive ‘access to food/nutrition’ in India to also include the broader nature of ‘access inequality’ as relevant for ‘basic amenities’ (i.e. roti, kapda, makaan, paani etc.) to populations in states across India.
