With rank of IITF in Global Hunger Index and one of world's highest rate of child stunting 8 19%, India's malnutrition and hunger scheme are lacking. Policies to combat hunger and malnutrition: - PM-POSHAN scheme, subsidies, egg day meal, NFSA eat. - (9% population get subsidized grain) PM Makthi Vardan yojana grants powder to women. However, it's effectiveness is limited due to: - Leakages in PDS system (80% grains leaked, (Shatro Kumar) though[illegible]), (Structural issues of distribution along) - Fows are regionally disbalanced - more focused to north & east, also

Hunger removal, not nutrition, is focused (via anemia in women @ 56%, NDHF s) - Level of local availability of food grains (via UP's Sunhadra - stores to food grains) - Affordability of quality nutrition food is challenge (via 75% Indian can't buy balanced diet, Global Hunger with daily wage, index) - Issue of one-size-fits-all (via standardized calorie measurement without individual needs) - Distribution issue: Buffer stock dispatch, centralized (issue of intra-block, collection-ration card portability, issue)
