What is causing the numerous deaths in the Kalahandi district of Odisha?

People in Odisha's Kalahandi district are dying of hunger. According to 2011 data, Kalahandi is considered one of the poorest districts of the country. Kalahandi grows abundant rice but unequal access to resources leaves the masses to perish in poverty and starvation. Children growing up in such an environment are always weak and sick due to a lack of food, resulting in insufficient nutrients in the body.
