Yes.  The UN does have a position on this and has a group with a mandate to collect data  and recommend measures.\n\nYou can find more info at this UN website:\nhttp://www.un.org/rights/dpi1772e.htm

i thionk the answer is pure greed. the world produces enough food to feed us all. unfortunatly, there are governments that refuse help in feeding their citizens( n. korea) and countries that are so corrupt, that the leaders accept the aid and seize it and sell it on the open market, allowing their citizens to starve (somalia) i dont believe that hunger will ever end on this planet.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is the UN's specialized agency for health.  Established in 1948, WHO's objective is for all peoples to attain the highest possible level of health.\n\nListing their achievements would be almost impossible since they are active in everything from vaccinations to planning responses to SARS to educationg people about nutrition, etc.

First things first-they need to make India a permanent UNSC member.We have the world's third largest military,a booming economy,a stable governemnt and our soldiers have laid down their lives in almost every U.N peacekeeping operation from Sierra Leone to Sri Lanka.It's about time India (one of the original members of the UN-we joined in 1945-before we were even independent) got the recognition it deserves.

Quickly and hardly all encompassing in a round about way:\n\nUS owes one to the Indian people (civilians), not the Indian government. International sanctions after 1974 nuclear test retarded civilian nuclear power program. Running water, basic sanitation and electricity for townships and villages that could otherwise be had for a song was shelved. India resorted to importing nuclear reactors from Russia, subject to operational IAEA safeguards.\n\nSurrounding geographic threat was largely reduced. 17 August 1988, President Zia Ul-Haq, a proponent and planner for nuclear arming, was killed in a plane crash. The soviets pulled out from Afghanistan, which helped reduce geographic threat of the Cold War. \n\nChina being essentially communist counter poised with a democratic India, is a reasonable choice as any for an ally in foreign policy: Arunachal Pradesh, claimed by China and India, was made part of the Indian union without China’s consent. Both sides bolstered about 200,000 soldiers, May 1987.\n\nNuclear proliferation was never a technical issue insofar as India had never signed one to begin. \n\nRight to exercise sovereignty in protecting its borders from Pakistan and China. India has had its own nuclear capability in the first place.\n\nTrade and economic relations between the US and India have seldom been better. \n\nIndia’s government and peoples’ intention and track record is to see that nuclear energy stabilizes the economy by allowing factories to run without down time and provides basic amenities that developed countries (Iran, US, and so on) take for granted: running water, flushing toilets, showers, electricity. Naturally, Peace activists would prefer a country to remain in the dark ages using kerosene lamps without providing a practicable solution.\n\nAs to the 3rd May 2005 bill, it is subject to further revision. The premise provided above in general was not wholly correct to begin with, although there is always a possibility that all means go to armaments. \n\nConstant supervision and monitoring is required as always that the purpose is wholly and without exception, for edification of people of India and the way politics are driven by its leadership.

THere is no one flag for world hunger that I could find, but there are several logos of agencies fighting world hunger.  The teacher might have meant the "CARE" logo - http://www.care.org/graphics/templates/wp/carelogoorg.gif\n\n-HTH

Thanks for the greetings for India's\nSpace programme initiatives.\n\nBut the actual problem is like that\nof North Korea, where people are living\nbelow the poverty line and dieing \nbecause of hunger and suicide of \nthousands of farmers every week.\n\nThe Government is only bothered\nabout share market index rising.\nThe Govt. has reduced interest\nrates on small savings by 33%.\n\nThe Govt. is only bothered for giving\njob reservations to such people\nwho get least of the marks in exams\nand promote them over the meritorius\npeers.\n\nThe Govt. is forcing the private sector\nto give jobs to such backward & illeterate\nclasses, who are otherwise unfit for\na job and not bothered to give them\na quality education.\n\nThere is corruption every where. Criminals\nare Ministers in the Country and the members\nof parliament (35%) have serious \ncharges of murders, bribery and kidnapping\nagainst them.\n\nRecently, several MPs were caught taking\nbribe on camera, but the Govt. ensured that\nthey are not sent to Jail and passed a\nLaw in the parliament. The MPs were from\nopposition parties. A Clear Criminal Nexus.\n\nNo jobs. Every day 6 bank robberies in the \ncountry. Courts are scared to convict any\ncriminal from the Parliament.\n\nNon qualified doctor(Quota pass), is the\nHealth Minister and is fighting to sack\nthe countrys' top most doctor, because\nhe is from  better/higher community.\n\nNon qualified and persons with less than\nIQ are manning Indias' Space centre,\none day, they will be responsible for\na serious disaster.\n\nThe PM (sikh) has been appointed, by \nthe President of Congress- an Italian by\nBirth, to ensure that old cases of Sikh\nkillings are not opened.\nThe Harvard educated Finance \nMinister is a crook of First order\n to identify himself as a backward \nclass for reservation of jobs for\n his community. He is from a money\n lender community and a Pawn Broker,\n who amassed huge wealth in the past. \n\nCriminals are having the best time.

Hunger and poverty will always be around, but their burden can be lessened significantly.  While we cling to our faith that government will deliver us, provided that we let ourselves be taxed to death, no great dent can be put in the global issues of poverty and hunger.  \nWelfare and foreign aid do nothing but give harmful bureaucracies more and more power to abuse.  Such programs look good, but they create a system of force: govt steals from us, calling it compassion, making us victims who "gave at the tax office" and perpetuates a dependency on legalised theft.  That is not "social responsibility"!  This is a perversion of the concept of compassion, of charity, but as long as we trust religion and/or government to rescue us, there is no real help for the poor.  \n\nCompassion, NOT compulsion.  http://www.bureaucrash.com/

The World Food Programme, based in Rome, is underfunded and overstretched.  They have an office of Information on their web site which will give you copious amounts of information.  They are directly responsible for keeping the famines in Africa's Darfur region from being a complete genocide.  It is through their tireless effort that people who would otherwise starve have been saved in some of the most remote parts of the world, and during wars, natural disasters and other crises.  It is a tribute to their efforts that one has to mention how many of their workers have been hurt or killed trying to alleviate the suffering of others.  They are doing the best they can.  It is up to the world community to ante up the funding required to do their job properly.

India's population actually accounts for 1/6th of the world population. That figure isn't actually an encouraaging one, is it?
