India's figures
| Rank, 2025 | 102 of 123 (105 of 127 in 2024) |
|---|---|
| Score, 2025 | 25.8 — “serious” (27.3 in 2024) |
| Government of India's view | The Ministry of Women and Child Development calls the GHI a flawed measure of hunger: three of its four indicators concern children, and undernourishment rests on a small opinion poll. |
All opinions on a report gather in one debate topic, so they count together.
