Union Minister Shri Pralhad Joshi Launches Smart Warehousing System for Foodgrain Storage

• Smart Warehousing System (SWS) — an integrated AI + IoT + automation + analytics platform launched by the Department of Food and Public Distribution (DFPD) for foodgrain storage in FCI and CWC depots.
• Billed as the world's largest deployment of AI and IoT in public-sector foodgrain warehousing.
• Crucial for UPSC because it intersects Food Security (NFSA), PDS modernisation, Digital India / IndiaAI Mission, PM GatiShakti, and Buffer-Stock Management.
