Map 6.3: <strong>Food</strong> Absorption Map of Rural MaharashtraAbsorption IndexSecure [0.6648 - 0.7390]Moderately Secure [0.5906 - 0.6648]Moderately Insecure [0.5164 - 0.5906]Severely Insecure [0.4422 - 0.5164]Extremely Insecure [0.3680 - 0.4422]The districts ranking extremely low in <strong>Food</strong> Absorption (an index of access to safe drinking water andto medical care) are Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg on the coas t, along with Washim, Yavatmal andChandrapur in Vidarbha. What is surprising is that the North-western districts of Jalgaon, Dhule andNandurbar rank high. Nandurbar actually has the highest score in the index, rather unusual for a hillforestregion. It is likely that projects for safe drinking water and PHCs have been carried out in thisdistrict, but the extent to which such drinking water and health facilities are actually functioning needsto be ascertained.*****68 FOOD SECURITY ATLAS OF <strong>RURAL</strong> <strong>MAHARASHTRA</strong>
