- Hunger
deaths were first
reported from Orissa
in 1965-66, when a
drought in Kalahandi
and Koraput
districts led to a
famine that claimed
around 1,000 lives.
- Unfortunately,
the situation has
not improved much
over the decades.
- People
in the region
continue to die of
hunger, even as the
country makes rapid
strides in other
economic
fields.
