Plan for filling up vacancies through a direct recruitment drive is presently under review and active consideration in FCI --Positive Response from Hon'ble Union Minister.

The sustained efforts of the FCI Employees Association (CITU) on the long-pending issue of recruitment in the Food Corporation of India have yielded a positive development. Following the representation submitted by the General Secretary of the Association before the Chairman & Managing Director, FCI, seeking immediate recruitment against the existing vacancies in Category III and Category IV posts, the matter was taken up with the Hon'ble Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Shri Pralhad Joshi, by Hon'ble Dr. V. Sivadasan MP and Hon'ble K Radhakrishnan MP

We are pleased to inform all employees and job aspirants that the Hon'ble Minister has, through his official communication dated 24.07.2026, informed Dr. V. Sivadasan MP and K Radhakrishnan MP that the matter has been examined and that the action plan for filling up vacancies through a direct recruitment drive is presently under review and active consideration in FCI. This is a significant and encouraging development in the Association's continuous efforts to secure recruitment against the large number of existing vacancies (around 10,000 Vacancies) across the Corporation. The Association expresses its sincere gratitude to Hon'ble Dr. V. Sivadasan MP and Hon'ble K Radhakrishnan MP for taking up this important issue with the Government. We also acknowledge the support extended by  Shri John Brittas MP, who have consistently supported the demand for expediting recruitment in FCI. 

The FCI Employees Association (CITU) will continue to pursue this matter vigorously until recruitment notifications are issued and all vacant posts are filled in the interest of strengthening FCI's workforce, improving operational efficiency, and creating employment opportunities for thousands of deserving job aspirants across the country. The struggle continues until the vacancies are filled.
