The Food Availability Index identifies Ranchi, Purbi Singhbhum, Dhanbad, Latehar,
and Hazaribagh as extremely food-secure districts. Urbanization and low rainfall
variability contribute to the food security of Dhanbad, Purbi Singhbhum, and Ranchi.
Hazaribagh, despite moderate development and low rainfall variability, does not
reflect a higher per capita cereal output. Latehar, with a significant irrigated area, is
moderately placed in terms of rainfall variability and cereal output.

In contrast, the Santhal Pargana region, except for Dumka, faces food insecurity.
Godda and Pakur are highly food-insecure, with low urbanization rates and low per
capita cereal output. Garhwa and Jamtara, with high rainfall variability and low
urbanization, also depict food insecurity.

Understanding these dynamics is crucial for targeted interventions to enhance food

security in different districts of rural Jharkhand.
