India is the lowest-ranked among South Asian countries and among Brics nations. This is a huge slip for the country which was ranked 93 in the index in 2015.
The report particularly highlights how the young and vulnerable of India are facing the heat of hunger.
It said that when it comes to infants aged six months to 23 months, only 9.6 percent of them in India are fed a “minimum acceptable diet”. This means that less than 10 percent of the infants in India are properly fed.
