Department of Personnel & Training 2026: General Manager (Region) - 1 Vacancy, Food Corporation of India

This role is ideally suited for highly experienced officers currently serving at the Deputy Secretary/Director level within the All India Services or other Organized Services of the Government of India. Candidates with a proven track record in Food Procurement and Public Distribution System related matters will be particularly well-regarded. The position requires individuals who have obtained necessary cadre and vigilance clearances and are eligible for central deputation under the Central Staffing Scheme.

This is strictly a deputation post for serving government officers; therefore, individuals from the private sector or those not holding the specified rank in Central/All India Services are ineligible. Candidates lacking the required cadre clearance, vigilance clearance, or who have not completed their 'Cooling off' period after a previous deputation will not be considered. Fresh graduates or entry-level professionals should not apply.

This position offers significant prestige and responsibility within the Food Corporation of India (FCI), a vital organization under the Department of Food and Public Distribution. Being a Central Staffing Scheme post at the DS/Director level, it represents a key opportunity for career advancement and high-level policy involvement within the civil services, offering a tenure of three years in a sensitive and impactful role.
