"food-corporation-of-india"

The decision comes in the wake of the initiative taken by Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao who pursued the issue with the Centre

Says no clarity in laws if FCI will procure agri produce in future

State accounts for about 63 per cent of Food Corporation of India’s total paddy procurement across country

Subbarao said the second positive aspect he sees is India's federalism, which, "warts and all", has withstood the test of vigorous democracy though there were tensions between the Centre and the states on some issues such as GST compensation.

30% more procured, against last monsoon’s figures till Dec 8

As per directions of CM K Chandrashekhar Rao, the authorities are making arrangements to set up total 6,491 procurement centres across the State for the benefit of farmers

Central govt had recently revised the memorandum of understanding of decentralised procurement between the State and the Central govts for procurement of paddy and delivery of custom milled rice

Chandrashekhar Rao accused the BJP leaders for claiming credit for the State government schemes while the Centre continues to impose restrictions on the State's efforts.
