Food Corporation of India (FCI) is on a hiring spree as it plans to 7,000 in order to gear up for implementation of proposed FoodNews food corporation of indiaSecurity Act, after hiring about 3,800 employees.

undertaken by the FCI,†state-run FCI Executive Director (Personnel) D
V Devinder Kumar Bhalla today said in a statement.
He said that 3,755 vacancies have been filled up in the category III in
the first phase through the Staff Selection Commission (SSC). Offer

management, Bhalla said extra manpower would be required to run the
operation of FCI, which currently handles about 80 million tonnes of
foodgrains.
FCI said more number of staff will be recruited in the north zone, where
maximum foodgrains are handled, followed by south, west, east and
northeast zones.

Ordinance on Food Security in the face of opposition within and outside
and decided to make another attempt to evolve a consensus to get it
through in Parliament.
