Right to Food
Persons living in conditions of poverty and hunger have often been found to be suffering from prolonged malnutrition Even when their deaths could not, in strictly clinical terms, be related to starvation, the tragic reality remained that they often died of prolonged mal nutrition and the continuum of distress, which had rendered them unable to withstand common diseases such as malaria and diarrhea
The right to food, and its variations, is a human right protecting the right for people to feed themselves in dignity, implying that sufficient food is available, that people have the means to access it, and that it adequately meets the individual’s dietary needs The right to food protects the right of all human beings to be free from hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition If people are deprived of access to food for reasons beyond their control like in the given current situation of Covid 19 the right requires the someone to provide food directly
In conclusion, in the given difficult times there is an urgent growing demand that every effort be made by the society to eradicate the poverty and hunger that constitute an affront to the dignity and worth of the human person Given the circumstances of our country, India has a special responsibility in this regard The prevalence of extreme poverty and hunger is unconscionable in this day and age, for not only does it militateagainst respect for human rights, but it also undermines the prospects of peace and harmony within a State For all of these reasons, we extend our hand in helping Karnataka to be the first hunger free state of India
