A misleading hunger index Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a multidimensional statistical tool used to describe the state of

countries„ hunger situation. The GHI measures progress and failures in the global fight against hunger Per capita food production in India has increased by 26% (200405 to 201314), Doubled in the last 50 years. Growth rate in food production is expected to reduce hunger significantly over time,

GHI prepared by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), shows India‟shunger level in very poor light.

2017 GHI score has India ranked 100 out of the 119 countries listed. India being among• 1)- Worst performers and• 2)-Underachievers in addressing food and nutrition security India still faces a problem of • 1)-Undernourishment(आधे पेि खाना) and• 2)-Poor child health.


Continue

GHI for 2017 is calculated as a weighted average of four standardised indicators, i.e.• 1)-The percentage of population that is undernourished(आधे पेि खाना);• 2)-Percentage of children under •five years who suffer from wasting- Low weight for height• 3)-Percentage of children under •five who suffer from stunting(prevent from growing)- Low

height for age • 4)-Child mortality(under-5 mortality or death of children under the age of five) Undernourishment and child mortality each make up a third of the GHI score, While child stunting and child wasting make up a sixth of the score, and together make up

a third of the score. 3/4 indicators, refer only to children below 5 who constitute only 11.5% of India‟s population. “Hunger Index” is highly biased towards undernutrition of children rather than representing

the status of hunger in the overall population. “Global Hunger and Child Health Index” than as a “Global Hunger Index”.


Continue Evidence shows that weight and height of children are not solely determined by food intake

but are an outcome of a complex interaction of factors related to genetics, the environment , sanitation and utilisation of food intake.

If child health indicators are not included in the GHI, India will move to the 77th spot. India‟s ranking in terms of child mortality, child stunting and child wasting is 80, 106 and

117, respectively. Calculating hunger The incidence of hunger is taken as proportion of the population whose food intake provides

less than its minimum energy requirements. Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) has an average norm

of 1,800 kcal, while the Indian Council of Medical ResearchNational Institute of Nutrition(ICMRNIN) specfied average norm of 2,400 kcal for rural areas 2,100 kcal for urban areasand in varies across

1)-Age, 2)-Gender and 3)-Activitylevel. To avoid confusion about the status of hunger and undernourishment, India should regularly

prepare and publish official estimates of hunger, like that of poverty. It will also help in tackling hunger.

Disability rights over time A quick recap of how legislation for disabled persons has evolved In 1992, the United Nations announced that December 3 would be observed every year as

International Day of Persons with Disabilities While disabled persons continue to struggle to secure employment and navigate their way

around with poor infrastruture. Disability rights movement gained momentum in the 1970s - Human Rights Issue. 19831992 was marked as the United Nations Decade of Disabled Persons. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), 2006 was

a big step towards viewing persons as “subjects with rights” and not “objects of charity”. India is a signatory to the UNCRPD and ratified it in 2007. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development pledges to “leave no one behind”. It states that persons with disabilities must be both “beneficiaries and agents of change”. However, attitudinal, institutional, and infrastructural barriers remain, World Bank stating that 15% of the world’s population experience some form of disability a

nd that they “


Continue 2011, the World Health Organisation came up with a world report on disability

for the •first time In India, according to the 2011 Census, 2.21% of the population has one or multiple types of

disabilities, making the country home to one of the largest disabled populations in the world. Legislation moved forward last year in India when the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act

was passed, replacing the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995. The 2016 Act recognises 21 kinds of disabilities compared to the previous seven, including

dwarfism(बौनापन), speech and language disability, and three blood disorders. New Act also increased the quota for disability reservation in higher educational institutions

from 3% to 5% and in government jobs from 3% to 4% Legislation alone is not enough; implementation remains abysmal Data from the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People

show that 84% of seats for persons with disabilities lie vacant in top universities. While we have a long way to go in implementing these laws, we must also keep in mind that A onesize•fitsall approach is unhelpful for disabled persons. Levels and types of disabilities differ and so do needs
