STATE CIVIL SUPPLIES CORPORATION LIMITED SETTING UP
Prior
to the year 1980 the procurement and distribution of essential
commodities under Public Distribution System, in the State
of Himachal Pradesh was being handled by the State Co-operative
Federation,District Co-operative Federations and Tehsil
Co-operative Unions.
The State Government felt that these institutions, individually,
were not in a position to procure all the essential commodities
from different Agencies of the Government of India like
Food Corporation of India, State Trading Corporation, National
Textile Corporation etc.
In this background the necessity of setting up a single
nodal agency was felt and H P State Civil Supplies Corporation
Limited was established in September, 1980 under the Companies
Act, 1956 as a Joint Stock Company wholly owned by the State
Government.
