Abstract
The paper focuses on the food absorption index (FAI) in the Purvanchal, geographically a very fertile land in the lap of Ganga, but the situation about the term in food is far behind the average of India. Taking into account the current situation of population benefitting with government policies as well as their own efforts and choices author has tried to extract a picture on the canvas of reality. The food absorption index (FAI) is a true indicator of any region in identifying and analyzing the progress and development over a period of time in real sense. Despite India’s recent record of high rates of economic growth, there is a major concern with the failure of that growth to translate itself into proportionate reduction in poverty and malnutrition (Food Security Atlas, 2010).
