In the FCI godowns very huge quantities of rice and wheat are stored. Previously, our godowns were empty and we had no wheat and rice in the stock. Thanks to the efforts of hon. former Agriculture Minister Dr. C. Subramaniam and Agricultural Scientist Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, who were the main pillars of the Green Revolution, now we are in surplus of food grains.
