Answer
Grains are stored on a large scale in structures called silos and granaries. Silos are tall, cylindrical structures typically made of metal or concrete that provide controlled storage conditions for bulk grains, while granaries are large warehouse-like buildings designed for grain storage. These storage facilities maintain proper temperature, humidity, and ventilation to protect grains from moisture, pests, rodents, and microbial spoilage. At the government level in India, the Food Corporation of India (FCI) maintains extensive networks of godowns and modern storage complexes to preserve food grains procured under public distribution systems.
