Starvation takes place when a low-priority process does not get CPU time bcoz of higher priority  processes keep coming.
this can be removed by "AGING"
In this A Process waiting for a particular time in queue (Eg:15 min)
Gets its Priority increased by 1.
Eg: If a process has priority 10, then it will reach priority 1 in (15*10)=150 mins.

The solution to starvation is to include the process of "Aging". The idea is to change the priority of a process as a time goes by. This can be done by reducing the priority of higher priority processes or by raising the priority of starved processes.
