Govt, has an active role to play during the pandemic in terms of nutritional support, education & jobs, says IFPRI report (IM4Change)

IM4Change (Inclusive Media for Change) published an article on the 2021 Global Food Policy Report. The article gives a full analysis and review of the Report and how it relates to India. The report cites a survey conducted in rural India during April last year that found that in roughly half of the households, women were spending more time fetching water and firewood in comparison to the earlier months (pre-pandemic period) of 2020. Joblessness accompanied by lost incomes because of stay-at-home orders frequently contributes to increased domestic violence that affects mostly women and children.
