Hunger is the biggest threat faced by the developing countries. One out of seven people in the world goes to bed hungry everyday. Hunger accounts for more deaths than any other dreadful disease like AIDS, Malaria or Tuberculosis.

In India,

• Around 46 per cent of children below the age of three are too small for their age, 47 per cent are underweight.
• 1 in 3 of the world's malnourished children lives in India

Lack of access to food is not the only reason for unceasing and constant hunger. Hunger persist when people lack opportunity to earn and become self sustainable.
