NEW DELHI: India has been ranked 107th out of 121 countries in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2022; a score of 29.1 puts the country in the "serious" category. India has slipped 6 places from its 2021 ranking of 101 with a score of 28.2 (among 116 countries). GHI measures and tracks hunger globally as well as by region and by country.
