As India’s hunger statistics are among the poorest in the world. India was ranked 102 out of 117 countries in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2019. The course of the COVID-19 pandemic has made these conditions worse. The virus has disrupted global and local food systems, and India's poor and hungry are being affected worse than ever. According to activists that are tracking coronavirus-related fatalities, over 300 people have lost their lives because of starvation, exhaustion, and accidents. As a comparison, India was ranked worse than Pakistan and Bangladesh. During lockdown while I had gone to buy daily necessities from the grocery store there was a crying kid standing outside the store but he wasn't going in the store. Just out of curiosity when I asked him why he was crying, he replied that he had not eaten from last 2 days. So I tried to give him a packet of biscuit and bread but while I was giving, his mother came and returned it and also she scolded him to not ask anyone. From this I came to know that they weren’t beggars, they had no money to eat because of the pandemic. On that same day there was news on TV that many of the daily wage workers are traveling towards their home as they had lost jobs and had no money for even food. This problem of hunger has been existed long before the pandemic and I started thinking about the situation and how can I contribute to it.
