AAN DAAN

One of the primary causes of hunger across the nation is widespread poverty. More than 21% of India's population lives on less than Rs. 100 per day.

This lack of money makes it so that many cannot get enough of the nutritious food they need. Another cause is a lack of access to food.

Facts About Hunger in India

  • One-third of food gets lost or wasted. According to the Indian Food Bank, 40 percent of vegetables and 30 percent of cereals produced are lost due to inefficiencies in the supply chain.
  • Women account for 60 percent of India’s hungry population.
  • 3,000 children die every day from hunger. Those that survive have a high chance of living with hardships in the future.
