The HLC will prepare a Consultation Paper relating to its TORs for circulation among the various stake holders as well as placing it in public domain to invite comments/suggestions. The HLC may visit a few States of both DCP and non-DCP category and will take evidence from State Government authorities, farmers, various players of foodgrains supply chain, public persons etc.
The Food Corporation of India (FCI) is vested with vital responsibilities of the Government, such as procurement, management of Central Pool stocks and distribution of foodgrains to State Government Agencies for various food security programmes. It is commonly perceived that FCI is plagued today with several functional and cost inefficiencies, which need to be removed for efficient management of foodgrains and saving costs.
