Corruption in FCI

FCI is generally referred as the white elephant in the Indian Parliament, because every politician is feeling that this particular corporation is eating up all the  money reserves of the government in the name of subsidy. But these politicians are also forgetting the fact that FCI is just the implementing whatever is decided by the Ministry. There are a number of complaints regarding FCI in each and every newspaper and most of them were proven wrong. Thanks for those who take these issues seriously and spend some valuable time of their's in writing rejoinds to those wrong news spreaded by the newspapers. Copies of these wrong news and rejoinds for those news are available in FCI's website in press releases, Official Website of FCI is http://fciweb.nic.in

Thanks to "The Hindu" for publishing all these rejoinds then and there, pity to say that the media is not ready to accept the mistake they made, most of the media are into money making business and they have succeeded so far.

Biggest corruption in FCI is said to be the issual of Damaged food grains. FCI never gives the food grains directly to Public Distribution System (PDS). It is given to State Government and then in turn State Government distributes it to the general public via Public Distribution System and the procedure for issual of grains to State Government is a complex Process. Let me explain it simply, First the demand will be calculated and the details will be given to FCI and the State Government will be given a chance to check the entire stock before issual, only if it is satisfied by the state government officials then it will be passed to them and they in turn give it to PDS. There is no possibility of exchanging the stocks because the stocks will be moved out of the FCI depot to PDS by State Government controlled vehicles. How can FCI be blamed if something is wrong with the grains?
