Global hunger index 2022 1st rank

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is an interactive tool created to represent, evaluate, and track hunger at global, regional, and national levels. Each year, scores are calculated to capture the multidimensionality of hunger using four combined indicators: undernourishment, child wasting, child stunting, and child mortality – to determine a value for each country. The data are standardized and aggregated to produce a 100-point GHI Severity Scale score where zero is the best – no hunger – and 100 is the worst. Data come from collection efforts by the United Nations and several other agencies, including the Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Bank, and the United Nations Children’s Fund. The 2022 results, and accompanying The GHI includes a Source: This report published by the Global Fund and the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the first systematic analysis of the state of inequality in HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria worldwide.

At first, the arguments put forward by the government to question India’s GHI 2022 ranking appear technically valid. However, being founded on narrow conceptual considerations, they are insufficient to defend India’s position. While India’s GHI ranking is affected also by the performance of other countries, the GHI score shows consistent deterioration since 2015, except in 2020. A preliminary assessment of data indicates that India’s GHI ranking should not be seen in isolation and instead is likely a manifestation of absolute increase in urban hunger. Each time India slips on the Global Hunger Index (GHI), the Government of India (GoI) questions the reliability of undernourishment data collected through the Gallup survey solely, because other data come from government sources itself. However, if the government is so keen to defend itself, perhaps it should find a better explanation. For example, ranking is a relative indicator and is affected not just by India’s performance but also by the performance of other countries. This means India’s ranking can go down if other countries have improved their performances, even if India’s absolute position is unaltered. Thus, to understand the ­Indian scenario, it is important to look at the ranking in light of theGHIscore that India has obtained over the years. Between 2016 and 2022, India has ranked 100th or below on theGHIs, except in 2020. While India’sGHIranking has deteriorated since 2016, itsGHIscores look more or less flat wit...
