 Hon.
 Speaker
 Sir,
 I beg
 to move:-
 “Having regard
 to the facts that-
 (1) Indian Railways
 are
 one
 of the largest transportation
 and logistics
 networks
 in
 the
 world
 and
 are
 drivers
 of
 the
 socio-economic
 development
 of
 the
 country;
 Indian
 Railways
 account
 for
 one
 per
 cent
 of India's
 Gross
 National
 Product
 and
 serve
 as
 the
 backbone
 of core
 sector's freight needs;
 (11) India
 has
 a vast history
 of railway development with
 an extensive network
 of
 train
 lines
 and
 stations
 built
 in
 the
 last
 century;
 Railways
 transport
 over
 twenty-four
 million passengers
 each day, connecting
 8000
 stations
 across
 the country;
 (11)
 Railway
 stations
 in
 the
 country
 have
 evolved
 as
 key
 urban
 centres
 with
 commercial
 and infrastructural developments
 around over the years;
 (iv)
 owing
 to
 the
 rapid
 changes
 taking
 place
 in
 the
 Indian
 economy
 huge
 investments
 are necessary
 to transform
 and modernise railway infrastructure;

 (v) various
 schemes
 including
 Model,
 Modern
 and Adarsh
 Station
 Scheme
 have
 been formulated
 for beautification
 and modernization
 of stations
 on Indian
 Railways
 in
 the
 last
 two
 decades
 and
 the
 priority
 under
 said
 modernisation
 schemes
 have
 been
 on
 improving passenger amenities
 at select Al
 and A category
 stations
 only;
 (vi)
 there
 is
 an inordinate
 delay
 in the operationalization
 of the Visakhapatnam-
 based
 South
 Coast
 Railway
 Zone
 in
 the
 State
 of Andhra
 Pradesh
 with
 the
 Detailed
 Project Report
 of the zone
 is pending with
 the Railway Ministry;
 and
 (vii)
 there
 is no Railway Recruitment Board Beautification
 and Modernization
 of
 Railway
 Stations
 under
 the Adarsh
 Station
 Scheme,
 etc.
 9
 in
 the upcoming
 South
 Coast
 Railway
 Zone
 in
 the
 State
 of Andhra
 Pradesh
 due
 to
 which
 job
 seekers
 are
 forced
 to
 travel
 to the
 State
 of Telangana
 to appear for railway recruitment exams,
 this House urges upon
 the Government
 to-
 (a)
 take
 immediate
 action
 for
 the
 beautification
 and
 modernization
 of
 the
 remaining
 stations targeted
 to
 be developed under
 the Adarsh
 Station
 Scheme;
 (b)
 ensure
 modernization
 and
 upgradation
 of
 all
 the
 railway
 stations
 in
 the
 country;
 and
 (c) expedite
 the operationalisation
 of the
 South Coast Railway
 Zone
 and creation
 of a Railway Recruitment Board
 for the zone."
 Thank
 you
 very
 much,
 Sir,
 for
 giving
 me
 the
 opportunity
 to
 move
 the
 Resolution
 relating
 to
 the beautification
 and modernization
 of railway
 stations under
 the Adarsh
 Station
 Scheme,
 etc.
