Indian Railways have decided to
conduct a public competition on ‘How to raise money for Railways to provide
better Services (Jan Bhagidari)’.
Indian Railways occupies a unique
position in the socio-economic map of the country. Energy efficient, economical
in land use and with a high degree of operating efficiency, the railways are
considered a vehicle of growth contributing to rapid industrial and
infrastructural development of the country. However, in the process, Railways
tend to subsidize and nourish the economy by incurring a social cost, much
beyond the normal call of any transport system. This constrains our ability to
spend generously on enhancing the customer-experience and hence, we would like
to invite the general public, industries, academia, research institutions,
chambers of commerce, Zonal Railways/PUs and other units of Railways to come up
with ideas on HOW TO RAISE MONEY FOR BETTER SERVICES.
