The details of food grain  stocks of wheat and rice moved from surplus States to deficit states are annexed at Annexure-A.  The criteria for preparation  of movement ptan are as unden-
- l. Quantity  available in surplus  regions;
- lt. Quantity  required by deficit regions;
- llt. Likely procurement;
- tv. Vacant storage capacity both in consuming as we  as procuring regions; and
- v Monthly allotment/ off take of foodgrains.
- (b): The monthly movement plan is prepared by FGI keeping in view the criteria  given above, and enables Fcl to gainfully  utilise the avaitable storage capacity throughout  the year, which is a dynamic  process rather than a static one.
- (c)r Details of average percentage of achievement in loading of food grains in the country during lean season and busy season are annexed at Annexure-B.
- (d): Details of demand made by FGI and rakes made available by Railways are annexed at Annexure.B.
