Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool to measure hunger at global, regional[1] and national levels, with the composite score based on 4 indicators[1]. The first indicator is the rate of undernourishment, which measures insufficient calorie intake due to inadequate food supply[1]. The second indicator is child stunting, which measures low height as compared to age for children under 5 years of age[1]. The fourth indicator is the under-five mortality rate[2], which captures child mortality. Therefore, all three indicators mentioned in the question—undernourishment, child stunting, and child mortality—are used by IFPRI to compute the Global Hunger Index. The correct answer is option C: 1, 2 and 3.

This is a classic 'Index Anatomy' question. UPSC demands you go beyond the 'Rank of India' trivia and master the 'Methodology' of major reports. If a report is in the news (GHI, HDI, MPI), memorizing its component indicators and publisher is non-negotiable.

“GHI is a tool to measure hunger at global, regional and national levels. It reflects the progress made or setbacks faced by countries in tackling the grave issue of hunger. The Index is published annually jointly by Concern Worldwide and welthungerhilfe. The composite score under GHI to rank countries is based on 4 indicators: • 1. Rates of undernourishment (i.e. insufficient calorie intake due to inadequate food supply). • 2. Child Stunting (low height as compared to the age; for children under 5 years of age). • 3. Child Wasting (low weight when compared to height; for children under 5 years of age). • 4.”
Why this source?
  • Snippet [1] explicitly lists the four composite indicators used to compute the GHI and the first is 'Rates of undernourishment'.
  • Snippet [1] also defines undernourishment as insufficient calorie intake, linking the term directly to the GHI indicator set.
