Government of India’s vision of ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ sets an ambitious yet All Board
achievable target for a developed India in which IR will play a crucial role. Members,
IR’s focus should be to break down the goals of Viksit Bharat-2047 into achievable | GMs/ All Zonal
milestones, and work upon them. Further, targets have been set for the next 5-| Railways and
Years and 100-day by IR. Production
Performance during 2023-24 has been promising as IR has performed better Units
across multiple fronts: freight loading has increased month-on-month, more
cargo and passenger trains have been run, more than 5000 km of new track has
been laid (14 km/day target has been achieved), new Rolling Stocks have been
inducted (and widely received) and the signaling systems over IR have improved.
Learnings from all untoward incidents need to be ingrained and the importance
of Safety has to be emphasized in day-to-day working. All sensitive installations
over IR should be maintained as per codal provisions.
With an increase in workload, the need for supervision by field supervisors and
officers is higher than ever. The criticality of Supervision to be driven into the
psyche of field officials through regular counseling and awareness sessions.
Pressure on passenger services has increased in the recent past. Consequently,
the importance of punctuality, water availability, catering, cleanliness, and
reduced waiting lists has also increased. In this regard, a concerted effort is
required for ensuring:
a. Unauthorized passengers do not board the trains.
b. Adequate provisions for Onboard services, Watering, Catering and Cleaning
ce. Punctual running of trains
d. Special trains are planned in advance.
Trains with poor cleanliness, linen and OBHS issues should be monitored and
improved in a targeted manner. Failures of LHB springs have to be arrested.
All works including 15 should be planned beforehand and made part of RBP and
the blocks outside RBP should be curtailed. The execution should match the plan.
Software and dashboard for Rolling Block Program developed by CRIS is under
trial within CRIS. CRIS to provide the software for trial to WR.
Railways should now start working on removal of those PSRs which till now were
not planned as it required land acquisition.
Number of asset failures and the time taken for their rectification needs to be
analyzed in greater detail. With the induction of new technologies, the need for
training of field officials and line staff in troubleshooting is paramount.
Plan for the future should include targets for laying 8000 km of new track
(annually) and induction of Rolling Stocks (more Vande Bharat, Amrit Bharat rakes
and new design Wagon), electrification.
Trial for Kavach system was recently carried out over NCR, and the train was
successfully controlled during trials conducted.
Freight development portal should be updated at the earliest, so that STS
proposals and industry requests can be captured in the system.
