Hungry People –Rotting Food grains

25. According to an estimate by the World Food Program,
one quarter of the world’s hungry live in India.
India ranks 66th in the world in battling hunger.
Over 20 crore people are hungry. During 1997-2007,
10 lakh tonnes of food grain was damaged. With this
10 lakh tonnes of food one crore people could be fed
for a year. At a time when food prices are sky-
rocketing and thousands of families living below
poverty line are struggling to get their meals, such
wastage of food grain is unfortunate and shameful.
