India has fallen six positions on the 2022
Global Hunger Index (GHI), ranking 107th out of 121 countries in a report published on Friday.
Asia’s third-largest economy fared worse than other South Asian countries such as Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This was the third straight year in which India’s ranking on the scale fell – it previously ranked 101 in 2021, and 94 in 2020.
The GHI, jointly published by the German-based Welthungerhilfe and Dublin-based Concern Worldwide, which ranks countries by “severity”, gave India a score of 29.1 – a hunger level falling under the “serious” category.
The index has five levels of hunger under which each country falls – low, moderate, serious, alarming and extremely alarming.
Based on data from 2019-2021, 16.3 percent of India’s population was undernourished. India is home to the second-largest population in the world at 1.4 billion people.
“South Asia … has the highest child stunting rate and by far the highest child wasting rate of any world region,” the report said, adding India’s child wasting rate of 19.3 percent was the “highest of any country” in the world.
According to the
World Health Organization, child wasting is when a person is too thin for his or her height as a result of failing to gain weight or suffering from rapid weight loss.

India’s government issued a statement criticizing the report for using an “erroneous measure of hunger”, adding it “suffers from serious methodological issues”.
