High‑quality rice is produced with strict quality‑control checks to avoid broken or discoloured grains.
The rice is packed in ergonomic, easy‑to‑carry bags for quick distribution.
Using Food Corporation of India warehouses speeds up delivery and reduces the need for soldiers to collect food from local sources.
The agreement supports rapid mobilisation and better storage, helping the army stay prepared for sudden operations.
Rice will be stored in Food Corporation of India warehouses and moved directly to army supply depots, including remote regions such as Ladakh and the Northeast.
Bags of 10 kilograms and 30 kilograms are used so that soldiers can handle and transport the food more easily in difficult terrain.
The initiative is part of a formal agreement that lets the army use civilian storage and handling facilities during emergencies.
