Congress targets Modi govt after India falls to 111th rank in Global Hunger Index


PTI, Oct 13, 2023, 8:45 PM IST

The Congress on Friday targeted the Modi government after India slipped to 111th rank in the Global Hunger Index (GHI), asking whether 74 per cent of Indians are not able to afford a healthy diet due to backbreaking price rise.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge cited data from the National Health and Family Survey 2019-2021 and Indian experts to say that 57 per cent of our women, aged between 15 and 49 years, are anaemic.

“The Modi government is allergic to any critical Global data, but even Indian data says that our people are going hungry. The Modi government can deny that India’s rank in the Global Hunger Index slipped from 107th out of 121 countries in 2022 to 111th out of 125 countries in 2023.
