Food Corporation of India should emerge as a trusted partner of farmers and people of the country, said Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Textiles and Commerce and Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal said while delivering address during 60th Foundation of FCI here today.
Shri Goyal said FCI plays a crucial role in facilitating flagship schemes like Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY) by providing ration to beneficiaries in every corner of the country. However, he emphasized that the role of FCI is not only to deliver ration, but also to instill confidence in farmers and beneficiaries by bringing transparency, efficiency and accountability.
The Union Minister said PM has promised to make India Corruption Free. To ensure this promise of Viksit Bharat, he called upon youngsters and staff of FCI to bring transparency and become whistleblower.
