Abstract: An application that works with the assortment and dispersion of surplus food from food enterprises and PGs could assist with expanding the productivity and viability of food gift endeavors in India. Food recipients may be able to request food donations based on their specific requirements, and food donors may be able to easily schedule pickups for surplus food through the use of such an application. By enabling more precise tracking and management of surplus food, technology could also contribute to a reduction in food waste. In recent years, India's economic growth and development have advanced significantly. However, the nation faces a significant obstacle in the form of hunger, malnutrition, and food insecurity. This examination paper investigates the causes and outcomes of food weakness in India, including neediness, inconsistent dispersion of assets, unfortunate foundation, and environmental change. In addition, it discusses the effects of hunger and undernutrition on individuals as well as society, including malnutrition, health issues, poverty, and social unrest. The paper suggests addressing poverty, improving distribution channels, increasing food production, and adapting to climate change as potential solutions. It emphasizes the significance of government programs and policies, such as the National Food Security Act and the Integrated Child Development Services, in reducing food insecurity and improving nutritional outcomes. This research emphasizes the critical need for India to overcome food insecurity and ensure that all of its residents have access to sufficient, nutrient-dense, and reasonably priced food. By taking proactive steps to address this problem, India can create a society that is more just and long-lasting as well as improve the health and well-being of its people.
