Global Hunger Index 2019
India is ranked 102 of 117 countries in the Global Hunger Index 2019.
In 2018, India was ranked 103 out of 119 countries.
The report, prepared jointly by Irish aid agency Concern Worldwide and German organisation Welt Hunger Hilfe.
The GHI ranks countries on a 100-point scale, with 0 being the best score (no hunger) and 100 being the worst. Values less than 10 reflect low hunger, values from 20 to 34.9 indicate serious hunger; values from 35 to 49.9 are alarming; and values of 50 or more are extremely alarming.
India with a score of 30.3 indicates
serious hunger.
The GHI score is calculated on four indicators:
1. Undernourishment
2. Child wasting
The share of children under the age of five who are wasted (that is, who have low weight for their height, reflecting acute undernutrition)
3. Child stunting
Children under the age of five who have low height for their age, reflecting chronic undernutrition
4. Child mortality
The mortality rate of children under the age of five.

NITI Aayog with Institute for Competitiveness as the knowledge partner released the India Innovation Index (III) 2019.
Karnataka is the most innovative major state in India.
Andhra Pradesh secured 10th position in III 2019
The index attempts to create an extensive framework for the continual evaluation of the innovation environment of 29 states and seven union territories in India and intends to perform the following three functions-
1) ranking of states and UTs based on their index scores,
2) recognizing opportunities and challenges, and
3) assisting in tailoring governmental policies to foster innovation.
The India Innovation Index 2019 is calculated as the average of the scores of its two dimensions - Enablers and Performance.
The Enablers are the factors that underpin innovative capacities, grouped in five pillars:
1.Human Capital,
2.Investment,
3.Knowledge Workers,
4.Business Environment, and
5.Safety and Legal Environment.
The Performance dimension captures benefits that a nation derives from the inputs, divided in two pillars:
6. Knowledge Output
7. Knowledge Diffusion.
The index shows that the innovation ecosystem of the country is strong in south and western parts of India.
