OBJECT OF FCI
The Food Corporation of India was setup under the Food Corporation Act 1964, in order to
fulfill following objectives of the Food Policy:
• Effective price support operations for safeguarding the interests of the farmers.
• Distribution of food grains throughout the country for public distribution system.
• Maintaining satisfactory level of operational and buffer stocks of food grains to ensure National
Food Security.

In its 45 years of service to the nation, FCI has played a significant role in India's success in
transforming the crisis management oriented food security into a stable security system. FCI's
Objectives are:

FCI North Zone
North Zone comprises 8 Regions i.e. Punjab, Haryana,
UP, Rajasthan, J&K, HP, Delhi and Uttaranchal. It is
the largest Zone in FCI having a workforce of 24447
staff & officers and 31634 laborers against 58104 staff
& officers and 64173 laborers in FCI as a whole in the
country. Punjab & Haryana Regions are the major
surplus States as far as production/procurement of food
grains is concerned and more than 90% stocks have to
be moved to other parts of the country. During recent
years even Rajasthan was self-sufficient as far as its
own requirement was concerned but because of severe drought during last year, stocks were
moved from Haryana & Punjab to Rajasthan Region.

Function of FCI
1. PROCUREMENT
The Govt. policy of procurement of Food grains has the broad objectives of ensuring MSP to the
farmers and also ensuring availability of food grains to the weaker sections at affordable prices. It also
ensures effective market intervention thereby keeping the prices under check and also adding to the
overall food security of the country.
FCI, the nodal central agency of GOI, along with other State Agencies undertakes procurement of
wheat, paddy and coarse grains under price support scheme and rice under statutory levy scheme. The
procurement under Price Support is taken up mainly to ensure remunerative prices to the farmers for
their produce which works as an incentive for achieving better productions
Before the harvest during each Rabi / Kharif Crop season, the Govt. of India announces the minimum
support prices (MSP) for procurement on the basis of the recommendation of the Commission of
Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) which along with other factors, takes into consideration the cost
of various agricultural inputs and the reasonable margin for the farmers for their produce.
To facilitate procurement of food grains, FCI and various State Agencies in consultation with the State
Govt. establish a large number of purchase centres at various mandis and key points. The number of
centres and their locations are decided by the State Governments, based on various parameters, so as to
maximize the MSP operations. For instance for procuring Wheat & Rice, more than 14000
procurement centres were operated for each crop during 2009-10. Such extensive & effective price
support operations have resulted in sustaining the income of farmers over a period and in providing the
required impetus for higher investment in agriculture sector for improved productivity.
Whatever stocks which are brought to the Purchase centres falling within the Govt. of Indias
specifications are purchased at the fixed support price. If the farmers get prices better than the support
price from other buyers such as traders / millers etc., the farmers are free to sell their produce to them.
FCI and the State Govt./its agencies ensure that the farmers are not compelled to sell their produce
below support price.

z. STORAGE AND CONTRACT DETAIL SECTION
Another facet of the Corporation's manifold activities is the
provision of scientific storage for the millions of tonnes of
foodgrains procured by it. In order to provide easy physical
access in deficit, remote and inaccessible areas, the FCI has a
network of storage depots strategically located all over India.
These depots include silos, godowns and an indigenous method
developed by FCI, called Cover and Plinth (CAP).
10
3. MOVEMENT DETAILS SECTION
Ensuring accessibility to food in a country of India's size is a Herculean task. The food grains are
transported from the surplus States to the deficit States.Thefoodgrain surplus is mainly confined
to the Northern States, transportation involves long distance throughout the country. Stocks
procured in the markets and purchase centers is first collected in the nearest depot and from there
dispatched to the recipient States within a limited time.
FCI moves about 250 Lakh tonnes of foodgrains over an average distance of 1500 Kms.
11
Regularly rice and wheat procured in the Northern States is moved to far flung corners Imphal,
Manipur or Kanyakumari in Tamnilnadu and to the higher reaches of the Himalayas in the North.
An average of 12,00,000 bags (50 Kg) of foodgrains are transported every day from the
producing States to the consuming areas, by rail, road,inland waterways etc. Thus by effective
planning and Management of the transport System FCI regularly moves foodgrain and sugar
from the procuring Region to the concerning Region.
12
¢.FINANCE
To achieve these objectives, the Corporation undertakes Procurement, storage, movement and
distribution of Central Pool stocks on a massive scale. The North Zone procures almost more
than 95% of wheat and about 50% of rice under levy as well as CMR of stocks procured by the
Corporation as a whole. To carry out these gigantic operations a large amount of capital is
required.
PROVISION OF FUNDS:
The Reserve Bank of India has sanctioned a cash credit limit to the Corporation duly backed by
stock cover and guarantee from Government of India through the consortium of Nationalized and
other banks under the leadership of State Bank of India. The North zone has been allocated a
revolving cash credit limit of Rs.250 Crores from State Bank of India, notional cash credit limit
of Rs.135 Crores from State Bank of Patiala and Rs.4 Crores from State Bank of Bikaner and
Jaipur. For further allocation to unit offices during peak season of procurement the cash credit
limit with State Bank of India is enhanced up to Rs.350 Crores as per estimated requirement.
Zonal office further allocates revolving cash credit limits to the bank accounts field offices in
North Zone opened with State Bank of India for withdrawals. The Regional Offices of Punjab
and Haryana maintain and allocate Cash Credit Limits to the bank accounts opened with the
State Bank of Patiala in Punjab and Haryana respectively and Regional Office Jaipur maintains
and allocates the Cash Credit limits to the bank accounts opened with the State Bank of Bikaner
and Jaipur in Rajasthan Region.

20. If your two suggestion are incorporated in
the HR policy of corporation(FCI), you would
suggest :-
There are 400 suggestions in all, but mostly of them are repeated or we can
say same at all, so I just take in your consideration only the main
suggestion-:
Promotion-
Retirement-
Recruitment-
65
asses to his/her performance to find the given task is performed in
time & accurate with response.
➢ The benefit to category 3 & 4 should be equivalent to category 1 & 2.
➢ Incentives scheme should be introduce.
➢ More transparent carrier growth policy should be implemented
➢ Increase medical benefits in category 3& 4
➢ There should be provision to improve the carrier of employees or
educational prospective
➢ Salary should be as per other PSU's
➢ Rotation/ transfer from one seat to another, after a specific time.
HR Policy
Storage system-
66
CONCLUSION
Finally at last I would like to say that the employment morals in
FCI head Quarter is around 65-70%. The basically the
organization as a whole is satisfied with some of the plans &
schemes of the organization. But its needs some changes in the
Policies, so that the organization grow further.
67
EXPERIENCE
I have learned lot from this organization, that how to talk with the senior
management & how to the raise the queries for getting the required information.
Being an Executive I have learned, how to tackle the subordinate so that the show
will run smoothly.
