Food Security In India
A section of people in India are still without food. Explain.
A section of people like SCs, STs, OBCs, people affected by natural disasters, women (pregnant and nursing mothers) and children under the age of 5 years in India are still without food.
The food insecure people are disproportionately large in some regions of the country, such as economically backward states with high incidence of poverty, tribal and remote areas, regions more prone to natural disasters etc.
The main reason for this unfortunate is that many poor families do not even have enough money or income to buy food in other words, there is availability of food and accessibility to food, but poor families do not have affordability to food.
