Global Hunger Index 2022: India's Rank Explained
The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool that measures and tracks hunger worldwide. It is published annually by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe. The index aims to assess progress and setbacks in the global fight against hunger.
Understanding the GHI Ranking
The GHI score is calculated based on four key indicators:
- Undernourishment (inadequate food intake).
- Child wasting (low weight for height, indicating acute malnutrition).
- Child stunting (low height for age, indicating chronic malnutrition).
- Child mortality (the share of children dying before the age of five).
Based on these indicators, countries are ranked. A lower rank indicates a more severe level of hunger.
India's Position in GHI 2022
In the Global Hunger Index 2022 report, India was ranked at the $107^{th}$ position out of 121 countries surveyed.
Analysis of Options
Let's look at the options provided in the context of the GHI 2022:
- $121^{st}$
- $116^{th}$
- $107^{th}$
- $109^{th}$
Based on the official GHI 2022 report, India's rank was $107^{th}$.
Important Questions from Geometry
ABCDEF is a regular hexagon. Side of the hexagon is 36 cm. What is the area of the triangle AOB ?
If ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF, and BC = 4 cm, EF = 5 cm and the area of triangle ABC = 80 cm 2, then the area of the triangle DEF is:
If Δ ABC is right angled at B, AB = 12 cm and ∠CAB = 60°, determine the length of BC.
If ΔABC and ΔDEF are congruent triangles, then which of the following is FALSE?
D and E are points on the sides AB and AC, respectively, of ΔABC such that DE is parallel to BC and AD ∶ DB = 7 ∶ 9. If CD and BE intersect each other at F. then find the ratio of areas of ΔDEF and ΔCBF.
