In 2023, India's undernourished population stood at approximately 184 million people. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in the number of undernourished individuals, decreasing from 182.14 million in 2024 to 174.84 million in 2028. This represents a consistent average percentage decline each year.
The year-on-year percentage variation shows a slight decline, reflecting positive efforts in handling undernourishment. This trend suggests improvements in food availability and nutrition programs. The average variation over these five years is indicative of a progressive reduction, with a CAGR illustrating the declining trend in undernourishment.
Future trends to watch for include government policy impacts, technological advancements in agriculture, and climate change factors which could significantly affect food security and nutritional outcomes in India. Monitoring these elements will be crucial for accurately forecasting further reductions in undernourishment levels.
