Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The FCI supplies food to the underprivileged segments of society through ration store supervision. It's called the public distribution system (PDS). The Food Corporation of India's (FCI) food grains were overflowing in the granaries because the public distribution system had failed to distribute food grains through the fair price shops, and the actual stock maintained by the government was higher than the desired buffer stock.

Despite the abundance of granaries, famine is a frequent occurrence. The godowns of FCI are overflowing with grains.
