Question
Which states are more food insecure in India?
Answer
The states that are more food insecure in India are those with higher levels of poverty and economic backwardness. These include:
Uttar Pradesh: Specifically the eastern and south-eastern parts.
Bihar
Jharkhand
Odisha
West Bengal
Chhattisgarh
Madhya Pradesh
Maharashtra: Particularly certain tribal and drought-prone regions.
These states have a high concentration of landless laborers, tribal populations, and areas prone to natural disasters, which makes them more vulnerable to food insecurity.
