SSC MTS 2024 PYQ — Question 45

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 111.

In the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2023, India was ranked 111th out of 125 countries, indicating a serious level of hunger. The GHI score for India stood at 28.7, reflecting ongoing challenges related to undernutrition, child wasting, stunting, and mortality. India recorded the highest rate of child wasting in the world at 18.7%, highlighting severe acute malnutrition among children. While the government has raised concerns about the methodology of the GHI, arguing that it may not fully capture national efforts and progress, the ranking underscores the urgent need for policy interventions, improved food security, and better nutritional programs to address hunger and malnutrition across the country.
