New Delhi: State-owned Food Corporation of India (FCI) will soon conclude the recruitment process of 5,159 posts of category II and III that were advertised last year. In an official statement, the food ministry said that the FCI "has been one of the leading recruiters in recent years, recruiting a large number of youth every year."
