Select the correct option from codes given below:
Answer:
1, 2, 3 & 4
Notes: The GHI is calculated by taking into account four key parameters: shares of undernourished population, wasted and stunted children aged fewer than 5, and infant mortality rate of the same age group. The 2016 GHI report states that an estimated 15% population in India is undernourished-lacking in adequate food intake, both in quantity and quality. The share of under-5 children who are “wasted” is about 15% while the share of children who are “stunted” is a staggering 39% and the under-5 mortality rate is 4.8% in India.
