- If we look at the trends in the underlying components, we see a relatively steady decline in udner five mortality rates over the last 15 years or so.
- Negative effect on hours, positive (insig) effect on total income. But, productivity. 0-2 had greatest impact
- The India State Hunger Index 2008 findings highlight the continued overall severity of the hunger situation in India, while revealing the variability in hunger across states within India. It is indeed alarming that not a single state in India is either low or moderate in terms of their hunger index scores; most states have a “serious” hunger problem, and one state, Madhya Pradesh, has an extremely alarming hunger problem
