This paper explores calorie deprivation in Maharashtra across regions as well as sub-groups of population such as caste, sizeclass of land possessed, religion, and household type (indicating principal occupation of the household) for rural and urban areas separately. There are two aspects to the discussion. First, we explore the inequities with regard to average intake in terms of calorie, fat, protein and cereals. Second, we analyse incidence, depth and severity of calorie deficiency. In the latter calculation, we use per consumer unit calorie norm of 2400 in rural and 2100 in urban and arrive at incidences of calorie-poor to be 54% in rural and 40% in urban. This will be lower than a per capita calorie norm with the same bench mark, but is higher than the incidences of expenditure-poor of 30% for rural areas and 32% for urban areas. It is worrying that the hands that help produce food (farmers and agricultural labourers) have a higher incidence of calorie poor.
