    Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. […] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. — Karl Popper

  • India Crossed Out!

    India Crossed-Out!
  • Truth Be Told

    ‘The methods adopted by the invaders have left behind them their aftermath. One aftermath is the bitterness between the Hindus and the Muslims which they have caused. This bitterness, between the two, is so deep-seated that a century of political life has neither succeeded in assuaging it; nor in making people forget it. As the invasions were accompanied with destruction of temples and forced conversions, with spoliation of property, with slaughter, enslavement and abasement of men, women and children, what wonder if the memory of these invasions has ever remained green, as a source of pride to the Muslims and as a source of shame to the Hindus?” – Dr. B. R. Ambedkar

India wasted 1.94 lakh MT foodgrain from 2005-2013 – RTI Report

Unloading food grains at an FCI godown

Food Corporation of IndiaFood grains amounting to crores of rupees, as much as 1,94, 502 tonnes, between 2005 and March 2013.

Based of a RTI query sought by Mumbai based activist Om Prakash Sharma, the Food Corporation of India (FCI) has provided the information.

Sharma had filed the query last month, seeking information about the wastage of food grains in India. The report was received yesterday.

The report consists of data collected region-wise as well as commodity-wise, of stock that has been segregated as ‘non-issuable’ (damaged) for each year, for the 23 regions of the country.

According to the report, the stock of damaged food grains, at 95,075 MT in 2005-06 came down to 3,148 MT in 2012-13. The wastage was at 25,353 MT in 2006-07, 4,426 MT in 2007-08, and 20,114 in 2008-09.

Also mentioned in the report was that in the damaged stock, approximately 84 percent, or 16,3576 MT was rice, and 14 percent (26,543 MT) was wheat.

Punjab had the largest amount of damaged stock of food grains, about 50 percent, or 98,200 MT of the overall damage, while Maharashtra recorded 10 percent of the total loss, about 20,067 MT.

Sharma, speaking to reporters, expressed worry over the inability of the government in India to curb food grain wastage.

“At a time when so many people die of hunger in the country, there is so much of wastage of food grain taking place. Those responsible for this loss should be punished,” he said. – The Indian Republic, 12 february 2014
