The correct answer is Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe.

• The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool designed to comprehensively measure and track hunger at global, regional, and national levels.
• GHI scores are calculated each year to assess progress and setbacks in combating hunger.

Key Points

• Four indicators to determine GHI score : (Asked in UPSC Prelims 2016)
  • UNDERNOURISHMENT: the share of the population that is undernourished (that is, whose caloric intake is insufficient);
  • CHILD WASTING: the share of children under the age of five who are wasted (that is, who have low weight for their height, reflecting acute undernutrition);
  • CHILD STUNTING: the share of children under the age of five who are stunted (that is, who have low height for their age, reflecting chronic undernutrition); 
  • CHILD MORTALITY: the mortality rate of children under the age of five (in part, a reflection of the fatal mix of inadequate nutrition and unhealthy environments).
• GHI scores on a 100-point GHI Severity Scale,
  • 0 - no hunger (Best score)
  • 100 - worst.

Important Points

• India's performance in GHI 2024
  • The 2024 Global Hunger Index (GHI) shows India at a "serious" level of hunger, with a score of 27.3, placing it 105th out of 127 countries.
