India has ranked 107th out of 121 countries in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2022, down from the 101st position the previous year.
Jointly published by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerlife, the GHI lists countries by ‘severity’. Yemen has ranked in the lowest position at 121, while the top of the list is dominated by European nations including Croatia, Estonia and Montenegro. Among Asian nations, China and Kuwait have ranked the highest.
The GHI has been brought out almost every year since 2000; with this year’s report being the 15th one. A low score gets a country a higher ranking and implies a better performance.
The reason for mapping hunger is to ensure that the world achieves “Zero Hunger by 2030” one of the Sustainable Development Goals laid out by the United Nations. It is for this reason that GHI scores are not calculated for certain high-income countries.
While in common parlance hunger is understood in terms of food deprivation, in a formal sense it is calculated by mapping the level of calorie intake.
But the GHI does not limit itself to this narrow definition of hunger. Instead, it tracks the performance of different countries on four key parameters because, taken together, these parameters capture multiple dimensions — such a deficiency of micronutrients — of hunger, thus providing a far more comprehensive measure of hunger.
The GHI looks at four main indicators:
Undernourishment, Child Wasting, Child Stunting, Child Mortality
While India has been consistently recording lower values for the four indicators, it started going up in 2014 for undernourishment and the prevalence of wasting in children. The proportion of undernourishment in the population went from 14.8 in 2014 to 16.3 in 2022, and the prevalence of wasting in children under five years jumped from 15.1 in 2014 to 19.3 in 2022.
Q6. As per the passage, India has?
(a) Topped the GHI ranking
(b) Stayed the same on GHI ranking
(c) Improved GHI ranking
(d) Gone down in GHI ranking
Q7. As per the passage, which nations have ranked the highest in Asia?
(a) China and Kuwait
(b) India and Pakistan
(c) Croatia, Estonia and Montenegro
(d) Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh
Q8. As per the passage, what are the four indicators GHI looks at to rank a country?
(a) Access to education, financial condition, mental Health, physical health
(b) Nourishment, Child Growth, Child Immunity, Parents
(c) Undernourishment, Child Wasting, Child Stunting, Child Mortality
(d) Age, Height, Physical health, Mental ability
Q9. As per the passage, what is hunger in a formal sense?
(a) Unavailability of food
(b) Low level of calorie intake
(c) Poverty stricken families
(d) Not eating food for a religious purpose
Q10. As per the passage, what is the reason for mapping world hunger?
(a) To achieve SDG of Zero Hunger by 2030
(b) To eradicate hunger once and for all
(c) To make a list of countries which are performing not so well
(d) To make self-learning AI that can predict decline or increment in hunger
English Grammar Solution
S1. Ans. (d)
Sol. There is no error in the sentence.
• The use of ‘to’ after ‘be able’ means an infinitive verb will follow.
S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. Use ‘in’ instead of ‘on’ to correct the sentence.
• ‘On’ is used to denote ‘on the surface of something or resting on top.’
• ‘In’ is used to denote ‘enclosed or surrounded by something from all sides, inside of something’.
S3. Ans. (b)
Sol. Active Voice: In Active voice the subject is the one doing the action.
Passive Voice: In Passive voice the subject is the recipient of the action.
To convert active voice into passive voice the object becomes the subject and the subject becomes the object.
For Example- Active- I did not complete the work on time.
Passive- The work was not completed on time by me.
S4. Ans. (b)
Sol. Direct speech is a report of the exact words used by a speaker or writer. The words spoken appear within inverted commas “……” and should be exactly word to word as spoken or written.
Indirect Speech is when we report what someone said in our own words. We do not use inverted commas, do not inscribe the exact words as spoken or written by someone.
For example- Direct- I said to Anil, “You are so dumb”.
Indirect- I told Anil that he was so dumb.
S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. Reading all four sentences Option A makes the most sense to begin the sentence because it introduces the context of the sentence.
• Option B makes more sense contextually after option A because it is continuation of option A.
• Option D comes after option B since option D talks about the inference of the last sentence.
• So, the correct order of the sentence is ABDC.
