FCI should be strong enough to store the food grains, and should have more storage having good conditions. If there is any irregularity in storage, the officers from top to bottom should be punished. Mobilization of food grains should be done properly with giving proper instructions.

Food Corporation of India These ideas are used by multinationals in other developing countries >Grain harvesting, storing and drying using modern tall silos. >Silos can be concomitantly used for conditioning the grain >Use of pneumatic/other bulk handling, weighing equipment for minimal loss in transfer >Use solar heat to drying and conditioning grain, as required >Reduce labour for material handling >Preserve grain without degradation Use agro-scientists and engineers NOT IAS officers

Though MSP is for 22 crops, only 3 crops are covered in reality.We have to encourage more production of coarse cereals likejowar,bajra etc. FCI working should be made transparent.A dedicated website which tracks grain procurement,its storage and distribution to outlets and displays it to public.To ensure min. transport (thus saving fuel and spillage) FCI should distribute preferably to local PDS shops.

FCI should be developed as one step solution for farmers. Each department responsible for separate activity. 1) FCI ENROLL FARMERS AND give FCI CARD. 2) FCI HELP TO DECIDE WHICH CROP IS BETTER DEPENDING UPON NATIONAL & LOCAL REQUIREMENTS 3) GIVE SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION TO GET BETTER PRODUCTION , LESS EXPANCES AND ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY PRODUCTION 4) FCI PURCHASE DIRECTLY AT 50% PROFIT PRICE 5)GOOD SCIENTIFIC METHODS STORAGE 6)GOOD TRANSPORTATION NETWORK 7) SELL CROP PROFITABLY

The people who handle food grains of public in a callous manner should be booked for criminal negligence in whatever act that is available. They behave callously since it is not their stock. Hefty penalty for spoiling public food be imposed on people handling it.
