 Guwahati: International charity organisation Oxfam launched its global 'GROW' campaign today for hunger free world here along with Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow and Patna.
India, home to a quarter of the world's hungry people with nearly 40 per cent of the population malnourished, is facing an unprecedented food crisis.
"Despite the doubling of the size of its economy since 1990, the number of hungry people in India has increased by 65 million because economic development excluded the rural poor and social protection schemes failed to reach them," Oxfam National Humanitarian Hub Manager Zubin Zaman told.
