Ghosh, Koustab
On 10th January 2018, Ankur Bhatnagar, 25 years old a final year MBA student of the Institute of&#13;
Advanced Learning (IAL), talked to some of his friends while having breakfast in the hostel mess and&#13;
went to his room, saying that he would skip today’s morning classes as he was not feeling well. Later,&#13;
on the same day (i.e., 10th January 2018), when his friends were searching for him during lunch, he&#13;
was found hanging in his hostel room. Mourn prevailed all over the campus, and all scheduled events&#13;
and activities were put on hold except for classes. People on campus thought that stress might be the&#13;
likely reason behind this incident. The annual student festival was coming up in the next two days.&#13;
However, unlike previous years, no one was taking a keen interest and showing exuberance towards&#13;
the fest. The police investigation is currently in place.

The food grain is procured from the farmers during the harvesting season in the procurement&#13;
centers by allocating the villages to a particular procurement center. The location of procurement&#13;
centers is decided by considering that the farmers should travel the minimum distance to sell&#13;
their produce. Once the procurement center's location is finalized, farmers bring their produce to&#13;
an allocated procurement center for selling their produce. After the completion of the food grain&#13;
procurement, the procured food grain is stored in the central warehouses. Hence, an optimal&#13;
distribution plan is developed to transport the food grain from the procurement centers to the&#13;
central warehouses. This plan minimizes the transportation cost.

The supply chain is the network of actors (i.e., different companies) that convert raw material&#13;
into a final product and supply these products to the customers through retail shops. The supply&#13;
chain section that appears after the manufacturing system is sometimes referred to as the&#13;
distribution network. Here, the main aim of the managers is to integrate all these elements of the&#13;
supply chain efficiently to produce and distribute the products in the correct quantity, at the&#13;
proper locations, and at the appropriate time. The objective is to minimize the total cost and&#13;
satisfy the customer service requirements. Similarly, the supply chain network of a food grain&#13;
refers to an outline of a systematic movement of the food grain from the farm to the customers.&#13;
There are two main sections of a food grain supply chain network, namely the surplus section&#13;
and the deficit section of the food grain supply chain network. The flow of food grain in the food&#13;
grain supply chain begins after the activation of the procurement and distribution functions of the&#13;
food grain supply chain network. These two functions are part of the surplus and deficit sections&#13;
of a food grain supply chain network. The surplus section of the supply chain network of a food&#13;
grain deals with purchasing the food grain from the farmer and then storing the purchased food&#13;
grain in the central warehouse of the surplus state, using transportation facilities. In another&#13;
section of the food grain supply chain, the flow of foodgrain is ensured from the central&#13;
warehouse of the surplus state to the fair price shops through the deficit state's central warehouse&#13;
and district warehouses. In the end, the grain food reaches fair-priced shops.
