## MINISTER OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD & PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

## A N S W E R (SHRI RAM  VILAS PASWAN)

(a)&  (b)  As  on  31.03.2016,  there  were  total  1889  godowns  under  the control of Food Corporation of India (FCI), with total storage capacity of 331.85 Lakh MT. Out of these, 1345 godowns are hired by FCI, having total storage capacity of 203.80 Lakh MT. State-wise details are given in Annexures 1 & 2.

- c)    Foodgrains  are  stored  by  FCI  in  a  scientific  manner  in  covered godowns  and  in  Cover&  Plinth  (CAP)  facilities.  Due  care  is  taken  to ensure that quality of the grain is maintained. However, food grain being a  perishable  commodity,  some  quantities  become  non-issuable  due  to various reasons like:
- I. Damage due to storage for a very long period.
- II. Damage in transit viz. en-route damage in wagons/trucks due to III. contamination, wagon roof leakage etc.
- III. Damages due to natural calamities like cyclone/flood etc.
- IV. Possibility  of  down  gradation  of  grains  which  are  procured  under relaxed specifications.
- V. In  some  cases  due  to  negligence  of  officials/  officers,  for  which suitable  disciplinary  action  against  defaulters,  where  ever  found guilty, are invariably taken.

The total quantity of foodgrains spoiled or pilfered during the last three years is given below:-

| Year    | Quantity Spoiled (MT)   |   Quantity Pilfered (MT) |
|---------|-------------------------|--------------------------|
| 2013-14 | 24,695                  |                    39.75 |
| 2014-15 | 18,847                  |                    48.3  |
| 2015-16 | 3,116                   |                    55.69 |

- (d)  &  (e)  No  new  proposal  is  being  considered  at  present  as  sufficient godown capacity has been created in the last five years. Only godowns which have been sanctioned earlier and are yet to be constructed are being completed.

However,  Government  has  approved  a road map  of FCI for constructing  modern  storage  facilities  in  the  form  of  silos  in  Public Private Partnership (PPP) in a phased manner as given below:

| Year    | Selection of Silo Operator (LMT)   | Silo Completion (LMT)   |
|---------|------------------------------------|-------------------------|
| 2016-17 | 36.25 LMT (Phase - 1)              | 5 LMT                   |
| 2017-18 | 29.00 LMT (Phase - 2)              | 15 LMT                  |
| 2018-19 | 34.75 LMT (Phase - 3)              | 30 LMT                  |
| 2019-20 |                                    | 50 LMT                  |
| Total   |                                    | 100 LMT                 |
