The Dhaka Times Desk A grim picture of malnutrition has emerged in India. According to a report, 75 percent of people in rural areas do not have access to nutritious food.
According to a recent study published in the journal 'Food Policy', 3 out of 4 people living in rural India do not have access to nutritious food.
Even if rural people spend all of their income on food, 2 out of 3 cannot afford the cheapest nutritious food.
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi sometimes gave a speech about how much the food security of the people of India has increased during his 6-year rule. However, data and statistics show that the country has gradually fallen behind in this field in the last 6 years.
The International Food Policy Research Institute's (IFPRI) study has expanded its scope to include more people in the survey, based on the criteria used to measure whether the country's rural population is getting nutritious food.
In that study, the standard of average daily or monthly income of industrial workers as well as unskilled workers, workers is also used here. Nutritious foods include dairy products, fruits, fresh grains and vegetables.
India is lagging behind Bangladesh and Pakistan in the recently released World Hunger Index. India is even behind countries like Sri Lanka and Nepal.
