A large number of pregnant women, as well as nursing mothers, are among the most vulnerable segments of the food insecure population. There are some children under the age of 5, as well, who belong to this population. According to the National Health and Family Survey of 1998-99, the number of such children and women is around 11 crore. There are some groups of people that suffer from food insecurity more than others. Like SCs, STs, and some sections of OBCs, they are more prone to food insecurity.
