Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
More than one-fifth of India's population suffers from chronic hunger even today. Chronic hunger mainly refers to malnutrition, which is caused by less intake of diet or calories than required on a daily basis. Despite the large increase in food production, we can find many people without any food in India. People who are below the poverty line suffer from chronic hunger as they are not able to afford that much food to cover their calorie requirements. Almost 20 per cent of India's population is below the poverty line. That's why one-fifth of India's population suffers from chronic hunger.
