MAIN FUNCTION OF F.C.I.

PROCUREMENTThe Corporation along with state government and their agencies has been extending support rice through purchase centers/mandis to the farmers all over the country. In order to facilitate the farmers to ring their produce to the procuring agencies, the purchase centers have been opened even in remote corners of the country which have been instrumental in curbing the distress sale in the major producing areas during the peak marketing season and induce the farmers to sustain higher production to a large extent.FCI, the nodal central agency of GOI, along with other State Agencies undertakes procurement of wheat, paddy and coarse grains under price support scheme and rice under statutory levy scheme. The procurement under Price Support is taken up mainly to ensure remunerative prices to the farmers for their produce which works as an incentive for achieving better production.Before the harvest during each Rabi / Kharif Crop season, the Govt. of India announces the minimum support prices (MSP) for procurement on the basis of the recommendation of the Commission of Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) which along with other factors, takes into consideration the cost of various agricultural inputs and the reasonable margin for the farmers for their produce. STORAGE

STORAGE CAPACITYAdequate scientific storage capacity is an essential component for better preservation of food grain stocks. The corporation started with a

storage capacity of about 7 lakh tones in 1965. Gradually the corporation with its continued effort augmented its own capacity to 129.48 lakh tones as on 31-12-2010. The corporation development an ingenious system of covered and plinth storage (CAP) to meet the requirement of stocks effectively. In addition the corporation hires storages capacity from the private parties on short/medium term basis. The Corporation operation its employees and no dealership is involved.

PRESERVATIONIn a situation of surplus, it was necessary to preserve the stocks properly. The Corporation with its widespread network of quality control personnel up to the lowest of purchase center and modern preservation technology has been able to maintain the quality of stocks efficiently. STOCKSTo meet the growing demands of the public distribution, the Corporation continuously augmented the stock mainly from domestic procurements and imports in some years. With the increase in domestic procurement, the dependence on imports gradually reduced and in eighties the Corporation the maximum level of stocks. Due to those efforts of the Corporation the country has been able to pass through hard times smoothly. TRANSPORTATION Markets and purchase centers are first collected in the nearest depots and from these dispatched to the consuming states within a limited time. FCI moves about 23 million tons of food grains over an average distance of 1500 kms. An average of 4, 00,000 bags of transported every day of producing states to the consuming areas by read, rail, waterways.Ensuring accessibility to food in a country of India's size is a Herculean task. The foodgrains are transported from the surplus States to the deficit States.The foodgrain surplus is mainly confined to the Northern States, transportation involves long distance throughout the country. Stocks procured in the markets and purchase centers is first collected in the nearest depot and from there dispatched to the recipient States within a limited time.FCI moves about 250 Lakh tonnes of foodgrains over an average distance of 1500 Kms.

DISTRIBUTION

PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SCHEMEIncrease in the issue of food grains by FCI has helped in enlarging and expanding the public distribution system. There are about 4, 00,000 Fair Price Shops at present against 1.09 lakhs in 1965 and the quantum distributed has substantially gone up. In the drought year of 1977, the Corporation issued over 22 million tons of food grain for public distribution, relief works, and open sale.The Government of India fulfills certain objectives of food securitythrough Public Distribution at an affordable price. In the present scenario, Public Distribution System strives to meet the twin objectives the price support to the farmers for their product and maintenance of stocks. It is against these stocks procured under price support that every month Government releases a prescribed quantity, in each State for distribution under Public Distribution System. This mission of the Government of India is brought into the reality at the operational level by FCI. The Sales Division communicates the said allocation to its Regional Offices. On receipt of sub-allocation from the State Government, the Regional Offices issue the instructions to the District Offices for releasing the stocks to the respective State Government /their nominees on prepayment basis at district level.

POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAMA number of new policy initiatives like enhanced allocation of wheat and rice from PDS and other schemes: introduction of distribution of food grains in Integrated Tribal Development Program (ITDP) area at social concessional prices as an integral part of poverty alleviation program: substantially poverty alleviation of FOOD grains for NREP program and permitting open market sale of wheat at uniform prices throughout the country and its implementation was planned. DROUGHT MANAGEMENTThe pace of growth of Indian agricultural production was distributed by four monsoons culmination in the severe drought of 1987. Food grains production declined: adequate supplies of food grains were ensured in all the drought affected states was made which linked employment generation programs with supplies of food grains. OPEN SALESFor containing open market prices, important consuming center were indentified and open sale of wheat was organized apart from regularsupplier of wheat at fixed prices. Tender sales were also making to Roller Flour Mills.

PRICE STABLIZATIONThe Public Distribution system has been instrumental in stabilizing the process of food grains to a greater extent as compared to the prices of all commodities.

TARGETED PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM(T.P.D.S.)

Public Distribution System was widely criticised for its failure toserve the population below the poverty line, its urban bias, negligiblecoverage in the States with the highest concentration of the rural poorand lack of transport and accountable arrangements for delivery.Realising this, the GOI has introduced the TPDS scheme w.e.f. 1.6.1997(w.e.f. 1.5.1997 for the states of Tripura, Haryana and Gujarat) tostreamline the PDS by issuing special cards to the families below thepoverty line and selling essential articles under PDS to them at a speciallysubsidised prices with better monitoring of the delivery system. Thisquantity is issued as rice or wheat or combination of both at BPL prices.The States fix Consumer End Prices (C.E.P) at FPS level at not morethan fifty paise per Kg. Over the Central Issue Price (CIP) particularly forthe population below the poverty line. The States are also free to add thequantum coverage and the subsidy from their own resources. Commonverities of rice are reserved exclusively for the population Below Poverty Line.

TRAINING INSTITUTE OF FCI.This Institute in the name of "Institute of Food Security" is a training Institute where regular training programs for employees of FCI & other organizations are conducted throughout the year.FCI has established a comprehensive and a structured training mechanism in accordance with its organizational goals. This mechanism has been perfected over a period of time.The training set-up in FCI initially consisted of 4 Zonal Training Institutes (ZTIs) and one Central Training Institute. The ZTIs that primarily catered to the zonal training needs of Category-III employees of the Corporation were located one in each zone except the North East.

The Central Training Institute (CTI) was set up in the year 1971 in leased premises at New Delhi. CTI was given the responsibility of catering to the training requirements of Category-I & Category-II officers of FCI.

As CTI's activities grew, a growing need for infrastructural expansion was felt. FCI thus decided to have its own building for its Central Training Institute at Gurgaon.The Institute became operational at its new premises from 1st August, 1997, and the first training program was conducted from 2 nd February 1998. It was in the year 2004 that the name of the institute was changed to Institute of Food Security' in order to provide a holistic expanse to the training curriculum and the activities of the Institute. This development took place in the backdrop of a decision to abandon the Zonal Training Institutes. Since then, the Institute of Food Security has been positioned primarily as an in-house training centre for the Food Corporation of India.

FCI's Training PhilosophyHuman resources are our greatest assets. Training and continuous development of this asset is an important management responsibility. FCI has always accorded the highest importance to the training of its employees, and used it as an effective tool to develop and nurture a competent work force .Training in Food Corporation of India is proactive, planned and a continuous process integral to organizational growth.It seeks to impart knowledge, hone skills and reorient attitudes for individual growth and organizational effectiveness.Divisional ObjectivesThe Institute is committed to the Quality Policy & Quality Objectives of the Food Corporation of India. Based on these and in alignment with the Training Philosophy, the institute has established its divisional objectives:The Institute of Food Security as a centre of Human Resource Development of Food Corporation of India will provide a complete solution to the training needs for the Executives of the Corporation.It will provide need based training to each executive up to the level of Dy. Manager at least once in every 3 years for enhancement of available knowledge and skill.The Institute will strive for continuous improvement in its own function by making constant evaluation of its training standard parameters and taking timely corrective and preventive action.The Institute will take up training / consultancy assignments on commercial basis for external clients with the target of increasing revenue generation by at least 15% each year and to be self reliant in the long run future by out sourcing the infrastructure to other companies.

CONCLUSION

1. With the ever increasing population of our country, it became essential to feed millions of people for which the Government of India established the Food Corporation of India in the year 1964 the very purpose of FCI was to bring about revolution in the production of Food Grains through Green Revolution and its proper distribution amongst the states.2. On the basis of training procedure as explained in the project, one can observe that the policy and procedures of training and promotion of employees at different levels differ from those adopted in private organizations.3. As reflected in the response of the employees and officers of the FCI in my questionnaires, it is evident that they prefer promotion to be the only criterion to the higher posts as it gives them opportunities to grow.
