New Delhi: The Congress has attacked the Narendra Modi government over a recent report which stated India's fall in the Global Hunger Index from 17.8 to 30.3 in last five years, media reports said.

A report, which was published by two international non-profits, shown India is behind its neighbours Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan in terms of Global Hunger Index.

"India's rank in the Global Hunger Index has continuously worsened ever since the BJP Govt took charge in 2014. Our situation has gone from 'moderate' to 'serious' in just 5 years. The question arises, who are they going to blame this on?" the Congress has put up a tweet.

The Global Index Hunger or GHI scores countries on a 100-point severity scale.

In the scale, zero is the best figure while 100 is the worst.

In 2014, India's rank was 55 as opposed to 102 in 2019. However, the number of countries considered in 2014 was 76 while 117 in 2019.

In 2019, Nepal and Bangladesh and Pakistan ranked 73, 88 and 94 respectively.

The authors of the report said the GHI used to measure and track global, national and regional hunger.
