While releasing the Food Insecurity Atlas of Rural India, Shri. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the then Prime Minister of India, made the following observations:"[T]he sacred mission of a 'Hunger Free India'needs the cooperative efforts of the Central and State Governments, local self-government bodies, non-governmental organisations, international agencies,and - above all, our citizens. We can indeed banish hunger from our country in a short time. Let us resolve today to make this mission substantially successful by 2007, which will mark the sixtieth anniversaryof our independence".
