Title

SUSTAINABLE DELOPMENT TARGET TO ELMINATE HUNGER AND EFFECT OF COVID-19 IN INDIAN CONTEXT

Abstract

Hunger denudes human life. It can change a human to an animal. Since the initial days of human civilisation till the advanced civilisation the human is struggling to collect adequate food, but till today this has not been materialised. Hunger is the greatest enigma in humanity. It is experienced that many men and women across the globe are struggling to feed their children properly. It is also estimated that one in nine persons in present day are still going to bed on an empty stomach each night. Considering the growing trend of hunger, the United Nations had launched a Zero Hunger Challenge in 2012. Reports depicts, even though the rate of hunger is falling, but it is far from satisfactory. The third consecutive rise in world hunger was witnessed in 2017, the number of undernourished people, facing chronic food deprivation had increased to 821 million. To face the challenge, which is very fundamental to human life and humanity as a whole, a set of Sustainable Development Goal were set by the member states in UN, which replace the previous target of Millennium Development Goal. The set of a 17 points agenda under Sustainable Development Goals is targeted to be achieved by the year 2030. The government of India, being a member state of UN is strongly committed to the SDG agenda 2030.With a view to eradicate poverty and free its people from hunger, the Government of India adopted various welfare measures and lunched several schemes. Apart from the Central Government polices many state governments had also made provision to provide subsidised food and other basic amenities for life to people. While India was aspiring for becoming super economic power, the covid pandemic from 2019 had put a break in the economic progress of the country. The methods and strategies adopted by the government to restrict spreading of the pandemic had badly affected the life and living of daily wage earners, the unorganised workers. Due to loss of their employment and lack of means for sustenance these persons were pushed to hunger. To bring the agenda zero hunger back into track is presently a big challenge before the economist, the government and a matter for academic debate. The present paper is to explore the right to food of the citizen in India, duties of the welfare state to supply food to the hunger inconsonance with the international commitment of SDG and find out the method to overcome the problem of hunger in post covid situation.
