Food Availability IndexIndicators:
• Per Capita Value of Agricultural Output (PCVAO)
• Net Irrigated Area to Net Sown Area (%) and • % Paved Roads
Plateau, forested, desert and tribal dominated area are extremely insecure Gangetic and Narmada valley regions are relatively secure
Food Access Index
Food Access Index Indicators: • Rural Wages• Monthly Per Capita
Consumption Expenditure • Agricultural Labourers• Proportion of SC and ST• Dependency Ratio• Rural Female Literacy
Extremely Insecure region are again forested and tribal dominated.
Maharashtra and Rajasthan are relatively secure
Food Absorption Index Indicators: • Access to Safe Drinking
Water• Access to Primary Health
Centres
Bundelkhand region, plateau region of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh and desert region of Rajasthan are extremely insecure
Bihar, Western UP and parts of Maharashtra are relatively secure

Food Security Index (FSI) FSI is a composite index of Availability,
Access and Absorption Index
Tribal parts of Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Bundelkhand region of MP and UP are extremely insecure
Southern Maharashtra, North western UP and north eastern Rajasthan are food secure regions.
Food Security Outcome Index Indicators: • Under Five Mortality• Underweight Children Bulandshahar, Sidhi, Panna, Mainpuri, Katni and Farrukhabad are extremely insecure Of the 281 districts, 80 are severely insecure, 126 are moderately insecure, 58 are moderately secure and only 11 are secure.
