A comparison in mid-day meal data for the first two quarters of
2011-12 and the corresponding period in 2012-13 reveals that the
number of beneficiaries has gone down to 10.44 crore from 10.69 crore.

India ranks 65 out of 79 nations on the Global Hunger Index (GHI) and
what's worse, it has remained on the same position for the last 12
years. In further shame, even war-torn Rwanda fares better. India's
ranking comes as a shocker particularly when the mid-day meal scheme,
touted as the world's largest school-feeding programme, is claimed to
benefit 12 crore children in the country. The index has been worked
out by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) as a
composite of three equally weighed indices - under-nourishment, child
morality rate and proportion of underweight children.
Almost 23 per cent of Indians are battling hunger and need immediate
support according to the IFPRI report. Anything above 10 per cent on
the scale is considered serious. The acute hunger percentage in China
is only 5.2 per cent while in Rwanda it is 19.7 per cent. Neighbouring
Bangladesh, at 23.3 per cent, is only 0.4 per cent higher than India.
Citing the report, Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Human
Resource Development Dr Amarjit Singh said, "Unfortunately, the Global
Hunger Index in India has stagnated even when the gross national
income per capita has doubled." In a letter to secretaries of state
governments, Singh said that as per National Family Health Survey
(NFHS) data, 18 per cent of pre-schoolers are under-nourished. The
figure doubles to 36 per cent during the adult years. "The above sets
of data show the critical importance of the Mid-Day Meal Scheme (MDMS)
in our country. Apart from improving the quality of education,
effective implementation of MDMS can contribute towards increase in
retention at the school level," Singh underlined.
He also asked the state secretaries to give personal attention to
critical issues and ensure full coverage of eligible school going
children under MDMS. "A little effort on your part will go a long way
to ensure, not only that no child remains hungry in the school but
also that the basic health and hygiene needs of the children are met,"
he said.

2011-12 and the corresponding period in 2012-13 reveals that the
number of beneficiaries has gone down to 10.44 crore from 10.69 crore.
