of the global burden of food insecurity was borne by India which is highest at the global level in 2017-
19. The shameful and saddest part is that the PMSFI rose by 3.7 percent in India though it declined in
the rest of South Asia by 0.5 percent during 2017-19. According to the estimates, 27.8 percent of India’s
population suffered from moderate and severe food insecurity during 2014-16 and its proportion
increased to 31.6 percent during 2017-19. The number of people who are food insecure got increased
from 42.65 crores to 48.86 crores in 2014-16 and 2017-19 respectively.
