CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
EMPLOYEE MORALE:
Employee’s attitudes, feelings and emotions play an eminent role in examining their behaviour
and performance. These in turn determine the growth and success of the FCI.
The main focus of the study is to measure the level of Employee Morale at Food Corporation of
India. This project emphasizes the importance of morale among the work force in achieving
gains in human performance and productivity.
Employee morale is one of the predictors of organizational efficiency and effectiveness.
Organizational effectiveness considerably depends on the morale of its work force. Morale is the
enthusiasm with which workers as individuals and as groups respond to their work situation and
requirements. It is a state of healthy balance in the organization in which people make their
respective contributions to achieve their set goals, maintain their sense of worth besides
developing their abilities, knowledge and skills.
Every organization should have personnel policies in order to accomplish the objectives of the
personnel as well as the organization. Periodic updating of personnel policies is essential to keep
pace with the changing times to avoid managerial stagnation of personnel policy.
It is found that to attain goals, factors like men, money, materials and machines are involved, out
of which man power is the most important. The relationship between the employer
and employee is an integral part for success of any organization. Various interactive behaviors
such as inter personal behavior, group behavior, use of power and authority, leadership,
communication, conflict and control are the significant factors which affect the climate in an
organization, thus, influencing productivity.
1
The object of the project is to have the finding of Employee Morale in FCI head Quarters, so that
where the places they are not satisfied can be changed or altered so that the company may give
its 100% output in doing the work.
To analyses that employee’s level of satisfaction. Analysis, the function & behavior of
employees towards other & what are the reaction of survey as they are very friendly with the
survey or not etc. are the objective of the project.
The study examined the responses of 50 employees of the organization, which includes two
categories of employees. The questions asked contained information about the number of years
since the employees have been working in the organization, their satisfaction level with the
working conditions and the factors that increases morale to them the most to give their best.
MEASUREMENT Morale can be measured by assessing attitudes and job satisfaction. There are several techniques
to measure employee attitudes: inference, prediction from behavioral data, interviews and
questionnaires and scales of their techniques interviews have been frequently used to measure
attitudes. Questionnaires and scales have been used interviews or independently, to get increased
reliability and objectively.
Likert Method of Summated Rating
The Likert method is much simpler and therefore more suitable. In this method each statement in
a series is usually followed by a five-step scale: strongly agree, agree undecided, disagree and
strongly disagree. Statement which have the more discriminating power and selected on the basis
of scale value difference analysis. Based on this method several techniques have been devised to
measure employee attitudes and morale. I have made the questionnaire on the basis of Likert
Scale.

RATIONALE OF THE STUDY
Employee morale is intangible and subjective concept. Morale is a state of mind or willingness to
work which in turn affects individual and organizational objectives.
The importance of morale is:
Better quality of work.
Higher performance.
Low absenteeism.
Good discipline.
Fewer industrial accidents.
Stability and growth of the organization.

Chapter-2INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
A Glance at Food Cooperation of India:-
Industry Overview
Food Corporation of India was setup on 14th January 1965 having its first District Office at
THANJAVUR (Rice Bowl of Tamilnadu) & HQRS at Chennai under Food Corporations Act
1964 with authorised capital of almost $600 million to implement the national policy for price
support operations, procurement, storage, preservation, inter-state movement and distribution
operations. FCI is the Largest Corporation in India and probably the largest supply chain
management in Asia. It functions through 5 zonal offices and 24 regional offices. Each year, the
Food Corporation of India purchases roughly 15-20 per cent of India's wheat output and 12-15
per cent of its rice output. The purchases are made from the farmers at the rates declared by the
Govt. of India. This rate is called as MSP (Minimum support Price).
There is no limit for procurement in terms of volume; any quantity can be procured by FCI
provided the stock satisfies FAQ (Fair Average Quality) specifications with respect to FCI. The
stocks are transported throughout India and issued under the Public Distribution System (PDS)
for the consumption of the ration card holders at the rates declared by the Govt. of India. The
difference between the purchase price and sale price, along with internal costs, are reimbursed by
the Union Government in the form of Food Subsidy. At present the annual subsidy is around $10
billion. FCI by itself is not a Decision making authority; it does not decide anything about the
MSP, Imports or Exports. It just implements the decisions made by the Ministry of Food and
Ministry of Agriculture.
4
OBJECTIVES OF FCI
Under the Food Corporation Act 1964, the FCI (Food Cooperation of India) fulfills
following objectives:
Effective price support operations for safeguarding the interests of the farmers.
Under the public distribution system, FCI distributes food grains throughout the country;
and
Maintaining satisfactory level of operational and buffer stocks of food grains to ensure
National Food Security. In its 45 years of service to the nation, FCI has played an
effective role in India’s prosperity in transforming the crisis management oriented food
security into a stable security system.
To provide farmers remunerative prices.
To make food grains available at reasonable prices, particularly to vulnerable section of
the society.
To maintain buffer stocks as measure of Food Security.
To intervene in market for price stabilization.
Since its inception in 1965, having handled various situations of plenty and scarcity, FCI has
successfully met the challenge of managing the complex task of providing food security for the
nation. A strong food security system which has helped to sustain the high growth rate and
maintain regular supply of wheat and rice right through the year. The efficiency with which FCI
tackled one of the worst droughts of the century not only cemented its role as the premier
organization in charge of food security in India, but also brought it accolades from international
organizations.
Today it can take credit for having contributed a great deal in transforming India from a
chronically food deficit country to one that is self-sufficient.
5
SWOT Analysis of Food Corporation of India
Strength of FCI:
Facilitator for food security
o Provider of price & market assurance to the farmer
o Ensuring steady food grain supplies to 5 Lakhs Fair Price Shops for Public
Distribution System to cover 141 million Above Poverty Line/ 67 million Below
Poverty Line card holders.
o Ensuring food for all other Welfare Schemes.
Management Capability & Experience
o Large pool of talent managing world’s largest food grain operation on behalf of
Govt. of India.
Enormity of scale
o Countrywide network of offices & strategically located Food Storage Depots.
o Operates in mandis, purchase center located within 10 km. Proximity of farmers.
o Undertakes purchases of 30 to 40 million tonnes annually making it the largest
buyer in the world.
Effective market intervention to stabilize prices.
State of the art expertise on food grain preservation / Warehousing / Transportation
Management
o Maintains the health of millions of tons of food grain in storage. Quality
acknowledged by international buyers.
o Excellent Storage Management.
Timely movement of food grains from procuring States to consuming States
6
Weakness of FCI: -
Virtually an extended arm of Govt. of India
Increasing age profile of its personnel at all levels.
Heavy dependence on monopolistic govt. agencies.
Absence of modern management practices
Absence of motivation to bring down the food subsidy bill.
Lack of Autonomy as FCI is not associated in many critical policy decisions affecting its
performance.
Opportunities for FCI:-
After nearly four decades of varied experience in food management, FCI can play a wider
role in being a food advisor to the Central/State Govts.
The corporation can also play a more proactive role in the sphere of commercial ventures.
To diversify into nontraditional commodities / activities.
Threats for FCI:-
Widespread negative image perception of FCI’s role & functions.
Despite its gigantic achievements, considered to be overstaffed, inefficient, slow, lacking
dynamism, vision & burden on the exchequer despite the fact that approx. 85% of its
expenses are statutory & beyond its control & its own administrative overheads restricted
to below 2% of Economic cost.
Despite the criticality of its role particularly on the face of unprecedented natural
calamities, periodically its very existence is questioned demoralizing its workforce.
7
Credit System for FCI prescribed by Govt. of India
The ministry of finance may allow regional rural banks (RRBs) to join their sponsor banks in
financing food procurement exercise by Food Corporation of India (FCI). Loans to FCI are
classified as food credit. The move would boost RRBs’ business without taking any additional
risk as government typically offers guarantee against food credit. For FCI too, it would be easier
making payments against food procurement in far flung areas, where RRBs are mostly active.
The issue has been on the ministry’s platter for quite some time now. According to sources close
to the ministry, the final clearance is expected anytime. Although, there is no regulatory hurdle
on RRBs offering food credit, but such a step has never been tried.
“We are expecting the finance minister to make an announcement to this end shortly. This would
help RRBs a great deal by way of a new window for credit deployment,” said All India Regional
Rural Bank Employees Association (AIRRBEA) general secretary, Dilip Kumar Mukherjee.
Incidentally, the request to allow RRBs offer food credit was first made from AIRRBEA
Platform.
FCI offers handsome returns to its lenders for credit. It fixes the rate by taking the average of
prime lending rates of the five largest banks. RRBs with unutilized funds may use this avenue for
assured returns without taking any risk.
At present, some 51 banks, including cooperative banks offer food credit. The government has
fixed a bank loan limit of Rs 34,495 crore for FCI for 2009-10. As on June 30, 2009, outstanding
food credit to FCI stood at Rs 21,286 crore.
“More than 50 RRBs have unutilized funds. Moreover, many of these banks have exhausted their
agriculture credit limit, making fund deployment more difficult. In this light, we have requested
the ministry to allow the same,” Mr. Mukherjee said. There are 84 RRBs in the country with
their 15,200-odd branches spreading across 593 out of 612 districts.
8
NEW INITIATIVES
Having been acknowledged a major player in food grain management within the Country and
abroad, FCI is now endeavoring for
Resource mobilization to reduce burden on food subsidy.
Better financial & Treasury Management.
Improved stock inventory management real time on-line system through a recently
launched IISFM (Integrated Information System for Food grains Management) in
collaboration with NIC.
Creation of Profit Centers.
Up gradation of technology through interface with Agriculture Universities/Management
Institutes.
Use of ’A’ Twill texture gunny bags as against 'B' Twill bags as a project to reduce losses
in storage and transit.
Multimodal transportation system through riverine / container.
Micro level Inventory Management through focused weekly movement plans.
Sustained corporate communication for improving image perceptions.
QUALITY POLICY
Competitive Landscape for Food Corporation of India
Demand is driven by federal agricultural policy programs, food consumption trends, and the
grain and oilseed export market. The profitability of individual companies depends on
maximizing crop yield and minimizing disease risk. Large companies have advantages in highly
automated technologies and access to the latest in seed and crop technologies. Small operations
can compete effectively by harvesting heirloom, non-genetically modified (GM), or specialty
products. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per employee (operator and
hired laborers) is $100,000.

CORPORATE VISION
Vision 2020
To aggressively promote Decentralized Procurement by State Governments with special
emphasis in non-traditional areas and commodities.
To initiate procurement of non-MSP governed commodities on commercial principles.
To ensure adequate buffer for meeting requirements under TPDS & Other Welfare
Schemes.
To dispose of surplus and un-storage worthy godowns and introduce concepts of
mechanized handling in the conventional godowns.
To undertake R&D for conversion of some of the existing capacity to bulk and cost
effective utilization of existing bulk capacity.
To optimize monthly movement programme with existing state of art of computerization
within the country at various locations as per corporate policies and priorities.
Modernization of Quality Control equipment’s and systems for food preservation in order
to increase the shelf life of food grain.
To venture in the fields of Forward Trading and Exports of both surplus stocks of food
grains in Central Pool and no-traditional commodities.
To introduce state of art of financial management in order to reduce the dependency on
the present banking system in the country.

CHAPTER 3
LITERATURE REVIEW
The literature survey conducted here includes the academic books and websites from internet.
Brown (2006) insists that two forms of literature need to be reviewed: conceptual literature and
research literature.
Conceptual literature is a type of publication that has been written by the respected authorities
in the industry. It contains theories ideas and experiences and is often published in the forms of
research articles and books. A wide range of conceptual literature has been reviewed for the
dissertation.
Research literature, on the other hand gives information about researches that have been
conducted in the field of the research topic and usually is presented in the forms of papers and
reports. A number of research literatures have been used in the course of the literature review for
the dissertation.
Review of existing literature means review or readout the present available information that is
collecting before the study by any other person. The existing literature is very important in the
study of any topic because the existing literature gives the basic idea about the study. It does
the work as the secondary data in the preparation of the study report.
Without existing data it is difficult to start the study because we don’t have any clue about our
study so the review of existing data is necessary for every researcher.
In the study of Employee Morale it is very necessary to study the information available of the
past studies.
12
Employee Morale By Barbara A. Glanz: The workplace is enveloped by the fear of
downsizing, loss of job security, overwhelming changes in technology, and the stress of having
to do more with less, employee morale and job satisfaction are at the lowest point. Managers
must recognize this phenomenon and do their best to counteract it if their organizations are going
to survive.
Employee morale By David Javitch: Morale is defined as the end result of many factors
present in the workplace environment. Some of these factors are the work setting itself, worker
satisfaction and action, salary, supervisory input, working conditions, status, and more.
Employee morale by F.William Hubbartt: Many issues or problem occurring in the workplace
can be resolved through better communications. Errors in the handling of customer orders or
service are often due to some sort of breakdown in communication.
And, in employee attitude surveys, communication from management is almost always ranked
low by employees. The problem is that most of us feel that we are good communicators – it is the
other guy who didn’t get the message right.
Davis define moral is “A mental condition of groups and individual which determines their
attitude”.
Theo Harman define “Morale is the state of mind and emotions affecting the attitude and
willingness to work, which in true affects individual and organizational objectives”.
Flippo define morale is “A mental condition or attitude of individuals and groups which
determines their willingness to co-operate with others to meet organizational objectives”.
M.S. Viteles defines “Morale as an attitude or a desire to continue in and willingness of strive
for, the goals of a particular group of organization”.
13
Milton Blum defines “Morale as the possession of feeling of being accepted by and the
belonging to a common goal and confidence in the desirability of these goals”.

46
SUGGESTION
To improve and maintain the level of Employee Morale, it is better to consider following suggestion:
1. It will be more effective if the management take the steps to introduce suggestion scheme system for the employees.
2. It is better the management should recognize the needs of employees and encourages employees special talents.
3. It will be better if the management provides incentives to employees so it will boost in their morale and productivity.
4. Supervisors should maintain coordinal relationship with workers and offers recognitions of the employee efforts and provide needed guidance to workers.
5. The management should provide opportunities for career development.
6. It will better if management given performance awards to employees so that it automatically increases employee morale.
7. It should reduce the load of work of the employees.
47
CONCLUSION
Morale is psychological concept. Morale is not a cause but rather the effect or result of many
going awry. Morale drifters from person to person, industry to industry level of education age,
nature of work etc. Morale may be range from very high to very low.
By this study it is clear that various faction which influences morale and productivity of the
employees each as Social Security measures, welfare facilities, salary status, Bonus, heath
condition, shift system and recognition of work are getting much importance.
To conclude employee morale plays very important role in every organization.
Good employee morale helps to success of the organization. Unless an employee has poor
morale if always a possibility of employee disharmony and also affect smooth running of the
organization.
Finally at last I would like to say that the employment morale in FCI head Quarter is around 55-
60%. There is need of development, hence the basically employees is not satisfied with some of
the plans & schemes of the organization.
The employees are not satisfied with the HR policies & their implementation in practice in
different hierarchical levels and feel a need for the policies to be changed within the time.
The employees are generally satisfied with the working condition in the corporation.
