populous country, India has enjoyed steady economic growth and has achieved self-sufficiency in grain production. Despite this, <strong>high levels of poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition persist.</strong> According to official estimates, anaemia affects 57 percent of women and 67 percent of children.</p> <p>According to the recent report of National Family Health Survey-5 (2019-21), the nutrition indicators for children under 5 show stunting (impaired development due to malnutrition) at 35.5 percent, wasting (low eight for height) at over 19 percent and prevalence of underweight at over 32 percent.</p> <p><strong>Over 10 percent of people live on less than US$2 a day</strong>, and levels of inequality and social exclusion are very high. In 2023, India’s GDP per capita was over US$9,000, among the highest in South Asia but lower than other major economies.</p> <p>The World Food Programme (WFP) has been working in India  since 1963, <strong>transitioning from food distribution to technical assistance </strong>since the country achieved self-sufficiency in cereal production in the late 1980s. With the Government now responsible for food distribution, we support the strengthening of this work so systems become more efficient and food assistance reaches the people who need it most. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="columns__side"> </div> </div> <div class="field field--field-paragraphs"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type-page-accordion paragraph--view-mode-full mv4 mv5-lg clearfix"> <h2 class="page-stripe__title wfp-wrapper">What the World Food Programme is doing in India</h2> <section class="accordion wfp-wrapper js--accordion"> <dl class="accordion__items js--accordion__items"> <dt class="accordion__item-title active"> <div> <span>Transforming the targeted public distribution system</span> </div> </dt> <dd class="accordion__item-panel active"> <div class="accordion__item-content">WFP is working to improve the efficiency, accountability and transparency of India’s own subsidized food distribution system, which brings supplies of wheat, rice, sugar and kerosene oil to around 800 million poor people across the country.
