Overall Goal

Page 4: IFPRI: India Food Security Portal

Policy decision‐making in food security‐relevant policy processes at national and state levels in India is more effective at addressing food insecurity issues as a result of strengthened policy research, analysis capacity, and of active and inclusive food security policy networks  fostered through interactive policy dialogues `

Main outcomes

Page 6: IFPRI: India Food Security Portal

Outcome 1: A food security knowledge hub is established, fostered by a cluster of Indian institutions in collaboration with the nascent network of individuals, and actively  promoted and adapted by an  inclusive policy dialogue process

Outcome 2: A broad network of individuals engaged in local, national and international policy‐making is established and active in influencing (shaping) Indian food security policy)

Outcome 3: Relevant food security policy processes have been contributed to and effectively influenced 

Outcome 4: The Global Food Security Portal is maintained and improved, and articulated with the Indian portal and network

Priority States

Page 9: IFPRI: India Food Security Portal

In addition to working in New Delhi we will cover states from three regions in India:

Andhra Pradesh is from south India, 

Bihar from Eastern India and 

Gujarat from Western India. 

Page 10: IFPRI: India Food Security Portal

Gujarat and Bihar have been among the fastest growing states in recent times though at very different levels of income. Bihar has the lowest income per capita level, and the highest per capita income growth. 

Page 11: IFPRI: India Food Security Portal

Bihar has been facing severe hunger problems. In the hunger index for 2008 as seen in figure below, it was among the lowest ranked states and scored worse than Zimbabwe and Haiti

Page 12: IFPRI: India Food Security Portal

On Incidence of malnutrition among women Bihar was highest among all states in India at 45.1 percent. The same index showed that Gujarat was among states that performed worse than what would have been expected given its poverty level. In addition, the incidence of anemia in the state of Andhra Pradesh is over sixty percent, with almost a quarter of the women population suffering from moderate and severe anemia. On the other hand, among children both Bihar and Gujarat had an incidence of anemia of more than 80 percent. 

Page 13: IFPRI: India Food Security Portal

In terms of institutions for providing food security there are important differences across states:

• Studies have shown varying and large exclusion and inclusion errors in the country's public distribution system that provides subsidized food grains particularly to below poverty line families. 

• Other programs, suffer from targeting efficiency programs, where the poorest are not benefiting as intended [Banerjee et al. (2007)]  

• Both Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat recorded over 60% under‐coverage. 

• This has caused states to launch their own initiatives. For example, Andhra Pradesh launched a system of extremely subsidized rice at 2 rupees per kg in 2006 which was revised to 1 rupee per kg in 2011.
