## A N S W E R

MINISTER OF STATE FOR  CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD & PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

(SHRI C. R. CHAUDHARY)

(a):   No, Madam. No damage of foodgrains has been reported due to lack of proper storage facilities.

The total capacity available with Food Corporation of India (FCI) and State Agencies for storage of foodgrains as on 30.06.2017 was 794.48 Lakh MT. This capacity is adequate to take care of all procured foodgrains in the country. The foodgrains are also stored scientifically with various preservation measures like fumigation and treatment with pesticides.

In spite of taking necessary care and precautions, small quantities of foodgrains become non-issuable or rotten due to various reasons like:

- i. Transit damages viz enroute damage in wagon/truck due to contamination, wagon roof leakage etc.
- ii. Due to natural calamities like cyclone/flood damages.
- iii. Possibility  of  down  gradation  of  grains  which  are  procured  under relaxed specifications.
- iv. In  some  cases  due  to  negligence  of  officials/  officers,  for  which suitable disciplinary action against defaulters, where ever found guilty, are invariably taken.

Following table shows accrual of damaged foodgrains in FCI  during last 3 years and current year (upto 01.07.2017) is as under:-

| Year    |   Offtake quantity (excluding DCP States) in Lakh MT in |   Damage Accrual FCI (in Lakh MT) | % Damaged Food grain against Offtake Quantity   |
|---------|---------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| 2014-15 |                                                  501.75 |                             0.19  | 0.04%                                           |
| 2015-16 |                                                  490.15 |                             0.03  | 0.01%                                           |

(b):    As  given  in  part  (a)  above,  the  total  capacity  available  for  storage  of Central  Pool  foodgrains  with  FCI  and  State  Agencies  is  794.48  Lakh  MT. Actual  requirement  of  storage  capacity  is  about  600  LMT  during  the  peak procurement season.

The  details  of  storage  capacity  including  hired  capacity  and  stock during last three years and current year as on 1 st  June of each year are as under :-

| 01.06.2016 |                          154.15 |                          208.32 |                                 449.47 |                   811.94 |           534.29 |
| 01.06.2017 |                          154.25 |                          207.45 |                                 421.47 |                   783.17 |           555.4  |

The  state-wise  details  of  production,  procurement  and  wastage  of foodgrains (rice & wheat) for last 3 years and current year as on 01.07.2017 are given in Annexures-I & II respectively. The quantity of foodgrains stored varies from day to day. Hence, the stock position of foodgrains in the Central Pool as on 1 st  June of last 3 years and current year are given in AnnexuresIII, IV, V & VI.

- (c):  Yes, Whenever accrual of any quantity of damaged foodgrains is noticed, each case is investigated immediately and action by the concerned authority is  invariably  taken  against  officials  found  responsible.  Damage  Monitoring Cell has also been  set up at district, regional and zonal level and consolidated  information/ATR  are  regularly  been  sent  to  Hqrs.  on  monthly basis. FCI, Headquarters shall also depute Vigilance Squad on regular basis to  scrutinize  wherever  accrual  of  damaged  foodgrains  is  more  than  1000 tonnes in a particular region.

Action against the delinquents has been taken in timely manner. The details  of  action  taken  against  the  officials/  officers  responsible  for  lapses resulting in  damage of foodgrains is as follows:-

| Year    |   No of Officials held responsible and action taken against them |
|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 2014-15 |                                                               77 |
| 2015-16 |                                                               31 |
| 2016-17 |                                                               13 |

Various  penalties  viz  recovery  of  losses,  compulsory  retirement, reversion  to  lower  post  and  reduction  in  time  scale  of  pay,  etc  have  been imposed upon the delinquents.

- (d):        Government  is  implementing  Private  Entrepreneur  Guarantee  (PEG) Scheme  for  conventional  warehouses  and  a  scheme  for  construction  of modern  steel  silos  to  augment  and  modernize  the  storage  capacity  of foodgrains  in  the  country.    Both  these  schemes  are  in  Public  Private Partnership (PPP) mode and the private investors are being involved in large scale.    No  funds  are  given  by  the  Government  for  construction  in  PEG Scheme.  Private  parties  selected  through  tendering  process  construct  the warehouses to be taken on guaranteed hiring by FCI/State Agencies.

In  case  of  silos,  there  are  two  models  of  PPP  viz.  Viability  Gap Funding (VGF) model & non-VGF model. In the non-VGF model of silos, there is no assistance for construction of silos. In the case of VGF model, private parties are allowed to quote upto 20% of the project cost as grant required by them; the party quoting the lowest grant or highest premium is awarded the tender. Thus, in some projects in VGF mode, support has been given by the  Governement  in  the  form  of  grant.  The  amount  of  grant  given  by  the Central Government for such silos is Rs 5.69 Cr in one project in Punjab and Rs 15.23 Cr in 7 projects in Madhya Pradesh.

A capacity of 19.16 LMT has been created under PEG scheme from April 2014 till June, 2017. The state-wise details are at Annexure- VII. During this period, total capacity of silos created is 6.25 LMT comprising 4.50 LMT in Madhya Pradesh and 1.75 LMT in Punjab.

- (e): During the next year, about 2 lakh MT capacity is likely to be created.
- (f):  The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Food Corporation of India (FCI) & Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) have prescribed standard specifications  for  construction  of  foodgrain  storage  godowns.  While  taking up construction, the central agencies namely FCI & CWC and State Agencies follow the prescribed construction design for godowns in order to ensure that the  foodgrains  are  protected  from  natural  calamities  like  rains  and  floods. Similarly,  only  scientifically  constructed  godowns  are  hired  from  private parties.  In  addition,  FCI  takes  the  following  steps  to  avoid  damage  to foodgrains:
1. Foodgrains  are  stored  in  scientifically  constructed  godowns.  Some foodgrains are stored for short periods in CAP (cover and plinth) in peak procurement season.
2. Adequate  dunnage  materials  such  as  wooden  crates,  bamboo  mats, polythene sheets are used to check migration of moisture from the floor to the foodgrains.
3. Prophylactic (spraying of insecticides) and curative treatments (fumigation)  are  carried  out  regularly  and  fumigation  covers,  nylon ropes,  nets  etc  are  provided  for  control  of  insects  &  pests  in  all  the godowns.
4. Regular periodic inspections of the stocks/godowns are undertaken by qualified and trained staff and officers.
5. The  principle  of  'First  in  First  Out'  (FIFO)  is  followed  to  the  extent possible so as to avoid longer storage of foodgrains in godowns.
6. Only covered rail wagons are used for movement of foodgrains so as to avoid damage during transit.
7. Damage  Monitoring  Cells  have  been  set  up  at  District,  Regional  and Zonal levels to regularly monitor quality of stocks and reduce damages.
