ANNEXURE  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PART  (d)  &  (e)  OF  UNSTARRED QUESTION  NO  483  TO  BE  ANSWERED  ON  19 TH DECEMBER,  2017  IN  LOK SABHA.

## STEPS TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT TO AVOID THE DAMAGE IN STORAGE TO DISTRIBUTION OF FOODGRAINS

Procured  foodgrains  are  to  be  stored  in  covered  godowns  as  well  as  under  CAP (Covered  &  Plinth)  storage  (wheat  and  paddy  only)  for  varying  periods.    During  storage, scientific codes of practices for safe storage of foodgrains are to be adopted by FCI and State agencies.   Details of the steps to be taken by storage agencies are as under:

- (i) All godowns are constructed as per specifications.
- (ii) Foodgrains are stored by adopting proper scientific code of storage practices.
- (iii) Adequate dunnage materials such  as wooden crates, bamboo mats, polythene sheets are used to check migration of moisture from the floor to the foodgrains.
- (iv) Fumigation covers, nylon ropes, nets and insecticides for control of stored grain insect pests are provided in all the godowns.
- (v) Prophylactic (spraying of insecticides) and curative treatments (fumigation) are carried out regularly and timely in godowns for the control of stored grain insect pests.
- (vi) Effective rat control measures, both in covered godowns as well as in CAP storage are used.
- (vii) Foodgrains  in  'Cover  and  Plinth'  (CAP)  storage  are  stored  on  elevated  plinths  and wooden  crates  are  used  as  dunnage  material.  Stacks  are  properly  covered  with specifically  fabricated  low-density  black  polythene  water-proof  covers  and  tied  with nylon ropes/nets.
- (viii) Regular periodic  inspections  of  the  stocks/godowns  are  undertaken  by  qualified  and trained staff and all senior officers. The health of the foodgrains is monitored at regular intervals by a system of checks and super checks at different levels. Following Checks and Super checks are conducted in the godowns by FCI to ensure proper preservation of foodgrains in the storage.
- a) Fortnightly inspection of stocks on 100% basis by Technical Assistant.
- b) Monthly inspection by Manager(QC)
- c) Quarterly inspection by AGM(QC)
- d) Super Checks by Regional, Zonal and FCI Hqrs Squads.
- (xi) The principle of 'First in First Out' (FIFO) is followed to the extent possible so as to avoid longer storage of foodgrains in godowns.
- (x) Only covered rail wagons are used for movement of foodgrains so as to avoid damage during transit.
- (xi)  Damage  Monitoring  Cells  have  been  set  up  at  District,  Regional  and  Zonal  levels  to regularly monitor quality of stocks and reduce damages.

Similarly,  at  the  time  of  distribution  of  foodgrains  to  States/UTs,  there  is  a  well defined procedure of joint inspection/sampling of the stocks by State Government authority and FCI to ensure that only good quality foodgrains conforming to Food Safety Standards are issued under Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) and other welfare schemes. This department has issued following instructions to Food Secretaries of all State Governments/Union  Territory  Administrations  and  FCI  to  ensure  supply  of  good  quality foodgrains under the TPDS:

- (i) Only good quality foodgrains free from insect infestation and conforming to Food Safety Standards are to be issued under TPDS.
- (ii) Ample opportunities are to be provided to the State Government to check the quality of foodgrains prior lifting the foodgrains stocks from FCI godowns.
- (iii) Samples  of  foodgrains  are  to  be  collected  and  sealed  from  the  stocks  of foodgrains to be issued under the TPDS jointly by FCI and State Food & Civil Supplies Department.
- (iv) An  officer  not  below  the  rank  of  Inspector  is  to  be  deputed  from  State Government to take the delivery of foodgrains stocks from FCI godowns.
- (v) Regular inspection to check the quality of foodgrains is to be carried out by the  officers  of  State  Government  and  surprise  checks  are  carried  out  by  the officers of Quality Control Cell of the Ministry.
- (vi) It is the responsibility of the concerned State Government/ UT Administration to  ensure  that  during  transportation  and  storage  at  different  stages  in  the distribution chain, the foodgrains retain the required quality specifications.
- (vii) The State Government, where the decentralized procurement is in operation, should  ensure  that  the  quality  of  foodgrains  issued  under  TPDS  and  other welfare schemes should meet the desired standards under the Food Safety and Standards Act.

Wherever  incidence  of  poor  quality  of  foodgrains,  are  brought  to  the  notice, immediate action has to be taken against the officials found responsible. Trainings are also organized  by  Government  of  India  for  the  officials  of  State  Governments/UTs  engaged  in handling of foodgrain by IGMRI, Hapur & its field stations and Quality Control Cells.
