Food Corporation of India has been making use of the services of NIC for many of their computerisation activities. As part of a National level plan, NIC Andhra Pradesh State Unit has developed the software 'District Accounting System (DIAS)' for use in FCI District Units. The pilot project taken up at Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh was accepted for implementation at the National level by the Committee consisting of senior officers of FCI. The software captures all transactions relating to Receipts, Payments, Purchase, Sales and Movements of food grains. The data captured from the vouchers is recorded as per their procedure for book keeping and used to generate all required original books of entries. Pass orders are generated for purchases of Rice and Paddy by capturing the supplier details, variety, storage depot and quality analysis details. The system assists the field offices to carry out their works faster and efficiently.
Nineteen training programmes were conducted in all parts of the Country during Feb-Jun 1999 by NIC AP State Unit in coordination with Food and Civil Supplies Division of NIC HQ and concerned NIC State Units. About 500 officials from more than 200 offices of FCI have received training in the use of this software.
The present version of the system is for use under Unix environment available at FCI District Units. New version for use under Windows environment is under development, which will also be useful for State Civil Supplies Corporations.
