India’s ongoing initiatives to combat hunger and malnutrition are a testament to the nation's commitment to ensuring food security and improving the quality of life for all its citizens. Through a variety of comprehensive programs and policies, India aims to boost agricultural productivity, enhance food distribution systems, and support vulnerable populations, making significant progress towards eradicating hunger.

On the occasion of World Food Day, India’s efforts stand as a reminder of the nation’s dedication to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly SDG 2: Zero Hunger. 

The government’s initiatives, such as the Public Distribution System (PDS), Midday Meal Scheme, and the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY), are vital components of the strategy to ensure food reaches every corner of the country, especially to those in need.

Moreover, India’s focus on sustainable agricultural practices is helping to address both current and future food challenges. 

Initiatives like Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY), which promotes organic farming, and Soil Health Card Scheme, which encourages efficient nutrient use, are designed to enhance agricultural productivity while preserving the environment.

By continuing to innovate and invest in these sustainable practices and social welfare schemes, India not only addresses its own challenges but also sets a positive example for the global community in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.
