Belarus and multiple other nations jointly top the 2024 Global Hunger Index with scores under 5, while India is ranked 105th
The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a peer-reviewed annual report jointly published by Welthungerhilfe and Concern Worldwide to comprehensively measure and track hunger globally, regionally, and nationally. In the 2024 report, countries with GHI scores of less than 5 are collectively ranked at the top (1 to 22), as minor score fluctuations among top-performing nations do not imply significant differences in hunger levels. India was placed 105th out of 127 countries under the 'serious' hunger category with a score of 27.3, reflecting severe ongoing challenges related to child wasting and undernutrition.
The Global Hunger Index evaluates nations based on four core health and nutritional parameters: undernourishment, child stunting, child wasting, and child mortality. Internationally, food security and nutritional support frameworks connect directly to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) and constitutional provisions under Directive Principles of State Policy (Article 47) in India, which mandates the State to raise the level of nutrition and public health.
