Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Never before had India been a food-secure nation, but following the Bengal Famine, the Indian government began to focus on the nation's ability to provide for its own food needs. The country has avoided starvation since the beginning of the green movement in the early 1970s, even amid stormy weather. Due to the diversity of crops cultivated across the nation, India has become self-sufficient in food grains during the past thirty years. An appropriately crafted food security system implemented by the government further guarantees the country's access to food grains. The buffer stock and the public distribution system are the two halves of this system.
The correct statement would be that India is not a food-secure country.
