India was ranked 102nd in the Global Hunger Index 2025. Which hunger severity classification was assigned to India based on its overall score?
Serious hunger category
The Global Hunger Index (GHI), published jointly by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe, ranks countries on four indicators: undernourishment, child stunting, child wasting and child mortality.
Scores are grouped into severity bands: low (\(\le 9.9\)), moderate (10.0-19.9), serious (20.0-34.9), alarming (35.0-49.9) and extremely alarming (\(\ge 50\)).
With a rank of 102 and a score falling in the 20.0-34.9 band, India was placed in the serious hunger category, reflecting persistent challenges around child undernutrition and dietary insufficiency.
Hence, India's classification is the serious hunger category.
