Detailed Solution

According to social composition, the SCs and STs, lower castes among OBCs, are facing the problem of food insecurity.
The social composition and the inability to purchase food also play a key role in the food insecurity of our nation. The SCs, STs, and a few other sections of the OBCs, that is, the lower castes with either a poor land base or very low land productivity, face food insecurity. The people affected by natural disasters and who have to migrate to other areas in search of jobs and livelihoods are also among the most affected by food insecurity.

Many pregnant and nursing mothers and children under five make up an important portion of the food insecure population.
