The world is too busy to tackle the challenge of abstention and Nutritional deficiency, and at such times the COVID-19 pestilence and the worldwide lockdown applied to its control have sharpened this crisis. The challenges posed by this epidemic have affected the economically weaker sections of society and workers in the Un-organised sector the most. Although the situation of the food crisis in the world countries has improved considerably at present, it is still much worse than before the lockdown.
