(SHRI RAMVILAS PASWAN)
(a) to (e): A statement is laid on the Table of the House.
****
STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) to (e) OF THE STARRED QUESTION NO. *123 DUE FOR ANSWER ON 12TH FEBRUARY, 2019 IN THE LOK SABHA
(a) to (e): As on 31.12.2018, a total of 2006 godowns (including silos) were available with Food Corporation of India (FCI) for the storage of Central Pool Stock of foodgrains. FCI has a total capacity of 390.04 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) (as on 31.12.2018), comprising 363.97 LMT in covered godowns and 26.07 LMT in Cover and Plinth (CAP) storage. The State-wise details are at Annexure-I.
On the basis of peak stock requirement during normal procurement season, the overall storage capacity required for central pool foodgrains in the country is about 650 LMT. Against this the total storage capacity available with FCI, Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) and State Agencies, is 851.54 LMT (as on 31.12.2018) comprising 724.79 LMT in covered godowns and 126.75 LMT in CAP storage.
However, depending on requirement in specific areas and for modernization of storage facilities, Government is implementing the following schemes for construction of godowns and silos in the country for central pool stock of foodgrains:
i. Private Entrepreneurs Guarantee (PEG) Scheme: Under this Scheme, which was formulated in 2008, storage capacity is created by private parties, Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) and State Government Agencies for guaranteed hiring by Food Corporation of India (FCI). A capacity of 142.12 LMT has been created as on 31.12.2018 since the inception of this scheme.
ii. Central Sector Scheme (earlier Plan Scheme): This scheme is implemented in the North Eastern States along with a few other States. Funds are released by the Government to FCI and also directly to the State Governments for construction of godowns. A total capacity of 2,01,200 MT has been completed by FCI and State Governments during last 5 years from 01.04.2013 up to 31.12.2018.
iii. Construction of Steel Silos: Government of India has also approved an action plan for construction of steel silos in the country for a capacity of 100 LMT in Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode for modernizing storage infrastructure and improving shelf life of stored foodgrains. Against this, as on 31.12.2018, steel silos of 6.25 LMT capacity have been created.

The foodgrains are stored scientifically with various preservation measures like fumigation and treatment with pesticides. In spite of taking necessary care and precautions, small quantities of foodgrains may become non-issuable due to various reasons like natural calamities, damages in transit, negligence of officials etc.
However, the percentage of foodgrains damaged in FCI against offtake/handled quantity is only 0.01% in 2018-19 (as on 01.01.2019).
The State-wise, agency-wise & year-wise details of quantum of foodgrains damaged in FCI’s own godowns as well as the rented private godowns during the last four years i.e. 2014-15 to 2017-18 are at Annexure-II, III, IV and V respectively.
Action has been taken against the officials of FCI for causing damage to foodgrains. In the year 2017-18, action was taken against 13 such officials and penalty of recovery was imposed on them. Further, in the case of damage to foodgrains in godowns hired by FCI, recovery from the rent payable is done.
The rent paid by FCI for storing the foodgrains during the year 2017-18 is Rs 2,345.42 Cr.
