Indian population, nature of duties performed by the personnel
in different geographical terrains, climatic conditions and
the resultant calorific requirement and as advised by the
medical authorities. In view of these factors, any comparison
with developed and Asian countries is not appropriate.
Moreover developed and Asian countries may not like to part
with this information being of sensitive nature. The time and
effort spent on the collection of this information may not be
commensurate with the results sought to be achieved. Thus this
information is not being supplied. A Statement of
the ration authorised to the three Armed services of India is
