## STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (a)  TO  (e)  OF  THE  STARRED QUESTION NO 21 DUE FOR ANSWER ON 19.07.2016 IN THE LOK SABHA

(a) & (b) No Madam, No case of damage to food grains due to shortage of adequate storage space have been reported. Storage capacity requirement of FCI is based upon the procurement level, buffer stocking  and  Public  Distribution  System  (PDS)  requirement  of  the  consuming  States.  Storage capacity requirement is assessed in the procuring States based on the highest stock levels in the last three  years  and  in  the  consuming  States  on  the  basis  of  4  months  requirement  of  PDS  and  Other Welfare Schemes (OWSs). Total storage capacity (both covered and Cover & Plinth (CAP)) available with FCI (owned as well as hired) and State agencies for storage of central pool stocks as on 1st June during the last four years with corresponding stock position in central pool is given as below:

( Fig. in Lakh Tons )

| As on    |   Storage capacity owned by FCI |   Storage capacity hired by FCI |   Storage capacity with State agencies |   Total storage capacity |   Stock position |
|----------|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|----------------------------------------|--------------------------|------------------|
| 01.06.13 |                          156.33 |                          240.69 |                                 354.28 |                   751.3  |           676.59 |
| 01.06.14 |                          156.47 |                          226.58 |                                 375.47 |                   758.52 |           622.31 |
| 01.06.15 |                          153.42 |                          215.33 |                                 357.68 |                   726.43 |           568.34 |
| 01.06.16 |                          154.15 |                          208.32 |                                 449.47 |                   811.94 |           534.29 |

The peak stock position has been less than the total storage capacity. Procured foodgrains are in  scientific  covered  godowns  and  in  CAP  storage.  Scientific  codes  of  practices  for  safe  storage  of foodgrains are followed during storage. Inspite of all precautions, some quantity of foodgrains may get damaged/become  non-issuable  during  storage  due  to  various  reasons  such  as  storage  pest's  attack, leakages in godowns, exposure to rains, floods etc.

The State-wise details of the storage capacity available and hired by FCI vis-a-vis stocks held during last three years and current year are at Annex- I, II, III & IV. State-wise details of production and procurement of rice and wheat during the last three years and current year are at Annex-V & VI respectively . Details  of  Central  Pool  stocks  accrued  as  damaged/non-issuable  during  the  last  three years and current year is at Annex-VII.

(c) Whenever  damaged  foodgrains  is  noticed,  each  case  is  investigated  and  action  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. As a measure  of  precaution,  FCI,  Headquarters  deputes  Vigilance  Squads  on  regular  basis  to  scrutinize large scale accrual of damaged foodgrains i.e. more than 1000 tons stocks in a particular region. The number of disciplinary actions initiated against officers/officials responsible for losses due to damage of foodgrains for the last three years is enclosed at Annexure-VIII.

(d) Government has formulated Private Entrepreneurs Guarantee (PEG) Scheme for construction of storage  capacity  through  Private  Entrepreneurs,  Central  Warehousing  Corporation  (CWC),  State Warehousing Corporations (SWCs) and other State agencies with the objective of augmenting covered storage space in the country to reduce storage in cover and plinth and to create capacity for smooth PDS operations and increased procurement operations. Under this scheme, a capacity of 134.54 lakh tons has been completed as on 31.05.2016, of which, private investors engaged through a transparent tender  mechanism,  have  completed  102.75  lakh  tons  of  storage  capacity.  Year-wise  &  State-wise capacity constructed under PEG scheme is at Annexure-IX .

Seven silos of 5.50 lakh ton capacity have been hired by FCI for purposes of bulk storage & movement of Central Pool stocks, which has been constructed though private investors. Furthermore, FCI has finalized Silo operators for construction of Wheat Silos at 6 locations viz. Narela, Changsari, Katihar,  Whitefield,  Sahnewal  and  Kotkapura  (total  capacity  2.5  lakh  tons),  on  a  PPP  model  with Viability Gap Funding, recently.

(e) Steps  taken  by  the  Government for proper  storage and management of foodgrains to check the damage to Central Pool foodgrains are at Annexure-X.

## Annexure -X ANNEX REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (e) OF STARRED QUESTION NO 21 TO BE

## ANSWERED ON 19 TH  JULY, 2016 IN LOK SABHA.

## STEPS  TAKEN  BY  THE  GOVERNMENT  FOR  PROPER  STORAGE  AND  MANAGEMENT  OF FOODGRAINS TO CHECK THE DAMAGE TO CENTRAL POOL FOODGRAINS

The following precautionary and remedial steps are mandated to be followed by F.C.I. and State Government agencies for proper upkeep and quality to check damages to central pool stocks of foodgrains:

- (i) All godowns are to be constructed as per specifications.
- (ii) Foodgrains are to be stored by adopting proper scientific code of storage practices.
- (iii) Adequate dunnage materials such as wooden crates, bamboo mats, polythene sheets are to be 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  to  be provided in all the godowns.
- (v) Prophylactic (spraying of insecticides) and curative treatments (fumigation) are to be 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 to be used.
- (vii) Foodgrains in 'Cover and Plinth' (CAP) storage are to be stored on elevated plinths and wooden crates are to be used as dunnage material. Stacks are to be 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 to be undertaken by qualified and trained staff and all senior officers.
- (ix) The principle of 'First in First Out' (FIFO) is to be followed to the extent possible so as to avoid longer storage of foodgrains in godowns.
- (x) Only covered rail wagons are to be 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.
