New Delhi: The states have not been lifting the entire volume of foodgrains allocated by the Food Corporation of India (FCI) for the various social sector schemes including National Food Security Act (NFSA), mid-day meal and other welfare schemes for the past many years due to inadequate storage facilities.

According to official data, in FY16, only 84% of wheat and 94% of rice allocated to states for distribution for various social sector programmes have been lifted, which results in delay in availability of subsidised foodgrains to beneficiaries.

In 2012-13, only 89% of the rice and 76% of wheat allocated for implementation of various welfare schemes were lifted by the states. In the subsequent year, 85% of rice and 85% of wheat earmarked for states by FCI were taken possession of by state government-owned agencies.
