ABSTRACT Food security refers to the availability, accessibility, and affordability of food for all people at all times. It is a state in which all individuals have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. It also includes the ability to acquire food without resorting to emergency assistance, scavenging, stealing, or other coping strategies. Food security is essential for human well-being, health, and development and is a fundamental human right. Food security in India refers to the availability, accessibility, and affordability of food to all its citizens. Despite being one of the largest food producers in the world, India has been grappling with food security issues for decades. The country has made significant strides in reducing hunger and malnutrition over the years, but the problem still persists in many parts of the country. According to the Global Hunger Index 2020, India ranks 94th out of 107 countries, with a score of 27.2, which is considered a "serious" level of hunger. To address this issue, the government of India has implemented several programs and policies. The National Food Security Act, 2013, provides legal entitlements to subsidized food grains to millions of poor families across the country. The Mid-Day Meal Scheme provides free meals in schools to promote education and improve nutrition among children. Despite these efforts, food security remains a significant challenge in India. The country still faces issues such as food inflation, inadequate storage facilities, and the unequal distribution of food. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the food security situation, with millions of people losing their jobs and facing food shortages. Overall, although India has made progress in improving food security, there is still a long way to go to ensure that every citizen has access to nutritious and affordable food.
