OPENQUOTE
Industrialised Gujarat ranks lower than Haiti on the Global Hunger Index ....
In Gujarat, whose government promotes the state as the most
investor-friendly in India, only 27.5 kg of coarse cereals per person
per year were available from Gujarat's own harvest in 2006-07. For the
period 2000-01 to 2006-07, the average per capita availability of
coarse cereals per year was 35.7 kg. Compare that with the average 56
kg of coarse cereals per capita available for the decade of the 1980s
(1980-81 to 1989-90). Rural Gujaratis also had more per capita pulses
available in the 1980s than in the first half of the current
decade....
