                                According to the 2023 State Hunger Index (SHI), several states in India still face 'alarming' hunger levels, with Bihar, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh being the worst-scoring states. Pinpointing exactly which state has the highest level of hunger in India depends on a complex web of socioeconomic indicators and systemic challenges.
