Antique white Bisque silver slate green cadet blue white azure Original MASTER CIRCULAR Master Circular No. 44 In-service Training to Non-gazetted Railway Staff. At present, the orders relating to In-service Training/Refresher course for non-Gazetted staff are contained in a number of office circulars/orders issued from time to time. The question of consolidation of these existing orders/circulars into one Master Circular has been under the consideration of the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board). They have now decided to issue a consolidated order on the subject as below for the information and guidance of all concerned. 2. Station Masters, Assistant Station Masters, Switchmen, Cabinmen, Guards and Drivers, who are employed in train passing/training operation duties, should pass appropriate examination at the end of the periodical refresher course. Special arrangements are to be made by Railway Administrations to repeat the refresher course immediately or after a short period, the staff being granted leave as due to cover the intervening period or temporarily utilized in another post. If, however, they fail in the second chance, they are to be absorbed finally in an alternative category not involving training passing/train operation duties. 2.1 An employee so absorbed in an alternative category may be allowed to undertake further refresher courses at an interval of a minimum period of 6 months but such repeat course is to be taken by availing of his/her own leave. On passing the examination, such staff will be re-absorbed in the original category on the occurrence of the first vacancy. 2.2 The above instructions need not necessarily apply to the category of Shunters, Firemen, Train Examiners, PWIs/APWIs , Commercial Clerks etc., but in the interest of safety, staff in these categories are also required to pass a test after undergoing refresher course. The test need not necessarily be a written test. All that has to be ensured informally is that the employee has a practical knowledge of the duties he/she is expected to perform. 2.3 A driver, who has failed twice may be utilised as a Shunter without giving any refresher course as prescribed for Shunters. [Ref: Board's letters No. E(TRG)61/TR 1/46 dated 22.8.1966, E(TRG)67/TR 1/96 dated 4.9.1967, E(NG)67/SR 6/35 dated 24.11.1967, E(TRG)61/TR 1/46 dated 5.8.1968, E(TRG)68/TR 1/133 dated 20.6.1969 and E(MPP)85/9/4 dated 23/31.12.1985 (RBE 348/1985)] 3. Staff not connected with train passing/ train operation duties may be given a third chance, if they fail in the first two chances of refresher course training for passing, availing of their own leave. They should be subjected to a oral test or informal assessment as to whether they have acquired the requisite knowledge imparted through the refresher course training. A column should be added to the CR form to indicate the assessment made. 3.1 This remark in the CR should be taken into account as one of the criteria for adjudging the suitability of the employee for higher grades in selection and non-selection posts. [Ref: Board's letters No. E(TRG)67/TR 1/105 dated 31.10.1969, E(TRG)71/TR 1/10/3 dated 22.3.1971, 21.1.1972, 9.11.1972, E(TRG)73/30/17 dated 3.4.1974; E(TRG)75/30/13 dated 17.1.1975; E(TRG)73/30/18 dated 7.4.1975; E(TRG)73/30/14 dated 3.4.1976; E(TRG)78/30/13 dated 25.4.1979 and E(TRG)73/30/13 dated 29.8.1985] 4. The Statistical staff need not be subjected to any formal examination at the end of the refresher course. However, the trainee may be informally assessed as to whether they have acquired the requisite knowledge imparted through the refresher course. The assessment so made should be placed in the CRs of the employee concerned as indicated in the letter of 21.10.1969 referred to in para 3 above. (Ref: Board's letter No. E(TRG)71/TR 1/10/8 dated 27.11.1971) 5. The period of training prescribed for directly recruited Commercial and Tra
