- (d) & (e): No damage is darectly attributed  to shortage  of godowns.

Grain available with  FCI  is preserved sclentifically.  FGI stores/handles  large quantities of foodgrains over long periods. Out of these Stocks, a negligible quantity  become non-issuable due to various reasons like natural calamities' transit damages etc.

A total capacity ol 11841175  MT has been completed by FGI and State Governments during the {2th Five Year Plan  121112-17).  This scheme has been extended from O1.O4.2O17  to 31.03.2022.
