Description :
Using average nutritive values of food actually consumed by individuals, the paper identifies regional concentration of hunger (food poverty) and its changes over time (1973-83) in rural India. There is a heavy concentration of hunger in the coastal states which has persisted over time. Hunger seams to have increased in the states that are relatively prosperous. However there has been a general improvement in the quality of food intake.
