South Asian countries like Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka have fared better, ranking in the &#8220;moderate&#8221; category. This underscores the need for India to intensify its efforts to combat hunger and malnutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Challenges in Achieving Zero Hunger<\/strong><br>The report highlights that achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger by 2030 is becoming increasingly unlikely for many countries, including India. With 733 million people globally experiencing hunger daily and 2.8 billion unable to afford a healthy diet, the global food crisis is further exacerbated by conflicts, civil strife, and climate change. Wars in regions like Gaza and Sudan are contributing to extreme food shortages, while other areas, such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Syria, continue to grapple with severe food crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Road Ahead<\/strong><br>For India, addressing these challenges will require a multifaceted approach. Tackling the root causes of hunger, improving food security, and ensuring adequate nutrition for children are critical in reducing hunger levels and improving the country\u2019s GHI ranking in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/news\/india\/global-hunger-index-2024-ranks-india-under-serious-category-12840838.html\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2024 Global Hunger Index (GHI) places India in the &#8220;serious&#8221; category, ranking 105th out of 127 countries.
