FCI on Recruitment Spree; Hiring 11,000 Employees Ahead of
Food Security Law Enactment
New Delhi, July 1: In a massive recruitment drive ahead of
the enactment of the Food Security
Law, the Food Corporation of India (FCI) is
in the process of appointing more than 11,000 new staff, including hundreds in
managerial positions.
The state-run FCI, through the Staff Selection Commission
(SSC), advertised 3,755 vacancies during 2011, out of which nearly 1,700
officials have already joined. That induction procedure is still in progress.
Another 6,545 vacancies were again advertised for which the
written examination stands concluded through SSC. FCI has now advertised 460
vacancies in the managerial cadre (Category II), which may be soon followed by
advertising of 30 vacancies in the Assistant General Manager-level Category-I
posts.
The new appointments precede the Food Security law under
which FCI will need to meet increased requirements of storage and movement of
food grains for the Public Distribution System (PDS).
This is a massive recruitment drive undertaken by the FCI,”
said the PSU giant’s Executive Director (Personnel) Dr Devinder Kumar
Bhalla.
It is after a long time that we have conducted recruitment
at such a big scale.
Dr Bhalla said the FCI’s stock level was growing along with
production level resulting in growing operational requirements to handle the
responsibilities on the public-sector corporation that handles stocks of about
800 million tonnes of foodgrains every year.
“The forthcoming Food Security Law will require massive food
grain management in the country,” Dr Bhalla said, adding the corporation will
also soon go for recruitment in the positions in the management that remain
unfilled. “The FCI will advertise all vacant posts for Category I soon,” he
said.
The FCI has already completed the recruitment process of
category III in first phase. Offer letters are being issued at the Zonal office
level and some of the candidates already joined.
