  • Supreme Court said that there was something "seriously wrong" with Food Corporation of India (FCI) where departmental labourers were paid Rs.4.5 lakh a month, more than President of India's salary.

    The court was hearing an appeal filed by FCI Workers Union against the order of Bombay HC.

    High Level Committee recommendations on labour issues

    High Level Committee recommendations on labour issues
  • The high level committee to revamp FCI submitted its report.

    On labour issues, the panel said that huge earnings by departmental workers was possible because of incentive system in notified depots, and proxy labour.

    The panel recommended that such depots be put on priority for mechanization.

    It further suggested that 'departmental labour' be offered suitable VRS and the cadre be gradually phased out.
