India's economy has experienced remarkable growth over recent decades, earning it a reputation as one of the world's fastest-growing economies, as noted by various sources (World Bank, 2019; Palanisamy, Vellaichamy & Jha 2021). This growth trajectory has significantly altered the course of economic development in the country. From 1990-91 to 2017-18, the average annual real per capita GDP expanded by 5 percent, according to Indiastat (2019). The agricultural sector has also made substantial strides, with food grain production increasing from 176 to 285 million tonnes during the same period (Government of India 2017).However, despite these economic strides, India grapples with persistent malnutrition, often termed the "Asian Enigma" (Singh, Gupte & Chattopadhyay, 2023). Despite robust economic growth, India's progress in combating malnutrition remains inadequate (Raina et al., 2022; Reddy, Babu, Kumar & Kumar, 2023). According to the Global Nutrition Report 2018, India bears nearly a third (31%) of the global burden of stunting and ranks unfavourably in various malnutrition indicators (IFPRI 2016). Amidst this backdrop, comprehending the concept of food security becomes crucial. UNICEF's measure of food security considers food production, cash income, and in-kind food transfers (Sinha, 2014), while FAO's measure encompasses food availability, access, stability, and utilization (Sam et al. 2019).
