Coming from humble beginnings, Chakraborty started his film career in 1976 with Mrigayaa which won him the National Award for Best Actor. His popularity sky-rocketed with the release of Disco Dancer which became the first film to gross a whopping ₹100 crore worldwide. The 1990s saw him winning two National awards and Filmfare Awards each, followed by another two Filmfare Awards well in the 2020s.

Q.10 What is India’s rank in Global Hunger Index 2024 ?

A) 103

B) 104

C) 105

D) 106

View Answer

Ans. C

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool that attempts to measure and track hunger globally as well as by region and by country, prepared by European NGOs of Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe.The GHI is calculated annually, and its results appear in a report issued in October each year.

The 2024 Global Hunger Index shows that progress in combating global hunger remains inadequate. Though some countries have made headway, the 2024 GHI score for the world is 18.3, which is considered moderate, and is down only slightly from the 2016 score of 18.8. Hunger is highest in the regions of Africa South of the Sahara and South Asia, both of which have scores reflecting hunger in the serious category. The goal of Zero Hunger by 2030, established by the Sustainable Development Goals, now appears unreachable.
