This&nbsp;year&nbsp;marks the 75th anniversary of&nbsp;United&nbsp;Nation's&nbsp;World Food Day,&nbsp;and,&nbsp;as&nbsp;countries&nbsp;continue&nbsp;to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic, the realization&nbsp;of access to safe and nutritious food for all has become more acute.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;India, which is one of the biggest food producers in the world, ironically is also home to the largest population of hungry people.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Despite astounding industrial and economic growth,&nbsp;particularly after the liberalization in early 1990s,&nbsp;India has a grim rating of 102&nbsp;among 117 nations&nbsp;on the Global Hunger Index.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The United Nations&nbsp;Food and Agriculture Organization&nbsp;estimates that&nbsp;14% of India's population or&nbsp;189.2 mn people are undernourished.&nbsp;The global agriculture body&nbsp;notes that&nbsp;in India&nbsp;34.7% of children under&nbsp;the age of&nbsp;five are stunted or too short for their age and 20% weigh too low for their height.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The hunger isn&rsquo;t due to lack of food but&nbsp;astonishingly&nbsp;due to&nbsp;the wastage of food. Hard to believe is the fact that&nbsp;nearly one-third of the food produced in the world gets wasted every year.&nbsp;
In India&nbsp;40% of fruits and vegetables and 30% of cereals produced for consumption are lost due to ineffective supply chain management each&nbsp;year.&nbsp;&nbsp;Starvation accounts for most deaths in the world after cancer and&nbsp;AIDS.&nbsp;In India alone, 7,000 people die every day of hunger and 25 lakhs&nbsp;die every year.&nbsp;&nbsp;As Covid-19 pandemic continues to alter our lifestyles, the fight against hunger has lost steam.&nbsp;A&nbsp;nationwide lockdown announced in March to curb&nbsp;the deadly virus&nbsp;brought&nbsp;India's already fragile and fragmented food supply chain to a screeching halt&nbsp;for months.&nbsp;
With&nbsp;labour&nbsp;shortage, logistical constraints and partial lockdowns&nbsp;amplifying the already strained food market and the poverty-stricken farmers, hunger remains one of the biggest problem amid the pandemic&nbsp;in world&rsquo;s largest food producing nation.&nbsp;

How Covid-19 pandemic has complicated India's fight against hunger

2020 marks the 75th anniversary of UN's&nbsp;World Food Day, highlighting access to safe and nutritious food&nbsp;as an essential part of our response to Covid-19.&nbsp; &nbsp;
One of the biggest food producers in the world, India is ironically enough, home to the largest population of hungry people in the world.&nbsp;
The nation ranks 102nd among 117 countries on the Global Hunger Index. Despite industrial and economic growth, the nation fails to feed its citizens.&nbsp;According to FAO estimates, 14% of India's population or&nbsp;189.2mn people are undernourished.&nbsp;Further, 34.7% of children under five in India are stunted or too short for their age and 20% weigh too low for their height.&nbsp;
In a grave contrast, nearly one-third of the food produced in the world gets wasted every year. 40% of fruits and vegetables and 30% of cereals produced for consumption in India are lost due to ineffective supply chain management every year.
The problem of hunger is dangerous, it remains the biggest cause of death in the world, followed by cancer and AIDS. In India alone, 7,000 people die every day of hunger and 25 lakh&nbsp;die every year.
And things could get much, much worse this year.&nbsp;The nationwide lockdown announced in March to curb Covid-19&nbsp;brought&nbsp;India's already fragile and fragmented food supply chain to a screeching halt.
Labour shortage, misinformation, logistical constraints and partial lockdowns&nbsp;are amplifying the already strained food market and the poverty-stricken farmers.
For the world's biggest democracy, hunger remains the biggest problem amid the pandemic.&nbsp;

India 'proud' to endorse US initiative on Human Rights

India on Wednesday said it is "proud" to endorse the US initiative on a joint statement on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

India on Wednesday said it is "proud" to endorse the US initiative on a joint statement on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The declaration recognises the many differences in national traditions and yet reaffirms fundamental freedoms and rights for all.&nbsp;Other nations joining the US on the statement include Bahrain, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Maldives, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

New York, PTI: India on Wednesday said it is "proud" to endorse the US initiative on a joint statement on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The declaration recognises the many differences in national traditions and yet reaffirms fundamental freedoms and rights for all.
A joint statement, issued by the US, on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) said, "On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, We, the above listed signatories of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, established and adopted in 1948, recommit ourselves today to the Declaration and its foundational ideal that certain principles are so fundamental as to apply to all human beings, everywhere, at all times."
"India is proud to endorse the US initiative on the Joint Statement on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," India's Permanent Mission to the UN tweeted.
Other nations joining the US on the statement include Bahrain, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Maldives, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
"We recognise the many differences in our cultural, political, legal, religious, and other traditions, yet reaffirm fundamental freedoms and rights for all, and reassert our commitment to honouring the dignity of all persons that is the basis for our commitments under the UDHR," the joint statement said.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a "milestone document" in the history of human rights.
Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in Paris in December 1948 as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected.

Amid Ladakh flare-up, Rajnath to attend SCO meet in Russia

PTI,&nbsp;New Delhi: Defence minister Rajnath Singh will leave for Russia on Wednesday to attend a crucial meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), which is taking place under the shadow of an escalating border row between India and China, two of the bloc's key members.
Besides attending the SCO defence ministers' meeting on September 4, Singh will hold talks with Russian defence minister Sergey Shoigu and several other top military officials with an aim to expedite implementation of a number of procurement programmes, officials said.
Singh will depart from Moscow on the evening of September 5, they said.
Chinese Defence Minister Gen Wei Fenghe is also expected to attend the SCO meeting.
The defence minister's visit comes just days after India withdrew from a multilateral war game to be held in Russia, and expected to be attended by the Chinese and Pakistani troops.
Asked about the possibility of a bilateral meeting between Singh and Chinese defence minister Wei on the sidelines of the SCO event, officials said there is no such plan.
The SCO defence ministers' meeting is taking place in the wake of fresh tension between India and China following Chinese army's unsuccessful attempts to change the status quo on the southern bank of Pangong lake in eastern Ladakh.
The two sides have held several rounds of diplomatic and military talks to end the border standoff which began on May 5.
The fresh attempts by China to change the status quo in the Pangong lake area escalated the tension further.
Russia has already said that India and China should resolve the border dispute through talks and that a "constructive" relationship between the two countries was important for regional stability.
It will be Singh's second visit to Moscow since June. He had represented India at the Victory Day Parade in Moscow on June 24 that commemorated the 75th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War.
Russia has also invited External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to attend the SCO foreign ministers&rsquo; meeting on September 10.
In his bilateral meeting with Russian Defence Minister Shoigu, Singh is likely to press for early supply of various weapons and spares to the Indian armed forces under defence contracts concluded earlier.
In the talks, both sides are expected to officially finalise a long-pending proposal to produce AK 203 rifles in India.
Officials said Singh is also likely to request the Russian side to ensure timely delivery of the S-400 missile defence systems to India.
The delivery of the first batch of S-400 surface-to-air missile systems to India is scheduled by the end of 2021.
In October 2018, India had signed a USD 5 billion deal with Russia to buy five units of the S-400 air defence missile systems, notwithstanding warning from the Trump administration that going ahead with the contract may invite US sanctions.
Last year, India made the first tranche of payment of around USD 800 million to Russia for the missile systems.
Officials said the SCO meeting is likely to deliberate on regional security scenarios and ways to deal with various threats and challenges.
The SCO, seen as a counterweight to NATO, has emerged as one of the largest transregional international organisations which accounts for almost 44 per cent of the world population stretching from the Arctic Ocean to the Indian Ocean and from the Pacific Ocean to the Baltic Sea.
The aim of the SCO is to maintain peace, stability and security of the region. India and Pakistan became members of SCO in 2017.&nbsp;
