". 2. The Fourth Report of the Railway Convention Committee, 1971 was presented to both the Houses of Parliament on the 25th April, 1973. Government furnished their replies indicating the action taken on the recommendations contained in the Report on the 15th Sep- tember, 1973, 8th July and 27th July, 19'14. At their sitting held on the 20th November, 1974 the Committee considered Government's replies and finalised their comments thereon. The Committee also considered and approved draft Chapter-I of the Report. 3. The Report has been divided into the following Chapters:- I. Report. n.

Nos. 2 and 3): In paragraphs 1.18 and 1.19 of their Fourth Report .on "Comr.;AT'- -cial aDd .AlliedM.atters (PlrtH)", ·theRailway .Conventien Com- mittee, 1971 had observed that the provision, of blansport .facilities for passengers had not received as clolle an attention ,of the Railways !is it should have, in view of the dependence of a large number of people on rail transport, particularly: for l~ng distanc~s. WhUe recognising that th~',pontraint on resources could 'be a,liniifu:1g' factor for provision of adequate passenger facUities and amenities, the Committee had pointed out that for that very reason ,there was a .greater need for, perspective and detaned planning so as to allocate I the scarce resources .aPFopriately in the, order of priority. .. 2. The ComIl\ittee ·Pa,d.'~u~h~r. ob~rved that if this careful plan- .~S ~d p~1l40~~ .right ,from the begblning ,of the FU-st Plan, the ~~l\\r~Ys w:o~~d have not ,been faced with, such an acute problem ,of cop',ges~~n on tqlnk x:04tes as w~ll as rail transport for metropo- )iW~.and o~her ca~it:a1 ~ities, ,'.Ole Gommittee had stre~sed that .t,he Working Groul,)S ~~~.tu~ by, ~e ~~g Co~issioD: ,togo mto the requirements of Passenger Traftic for the Fifth Plan should exa- mine the matter in all its aspec~ with ~cial refe~nce to ths back- log which had accumulated in the matter of provision of adequate transport facilities to passengers partieularly on· the trunk routes .so as to suggest a concrete plan of action with proper priorities. ·3. From the reply furnished by the Ministry, ,the,Coqnittee note that an analysis .of Third class (now Sec8l!ld class) DOIHIUburban pusenger trdlc indicates that there had :been 'rapid increase in travel by mail and expresa trains· both in terms of number;(1f origi- nating passengers and passenger Kms. However, there was a lower rate of in~rease -in. travel ,by other pa~~~~er trains. , 4. In a.further replyfu'rnish~ to the Committee, the .Rty: ~d nave stated that planni~g for ~oaches was do~e .on the Indian RaIl- "ways on th~ '-basis of incre!lBe ip "Passenger Knis." al'ld nOt on'ori- ginating passengers'.

How- ever, the provision made in the Plan based on the limitation of pro- duction capacity as well as resources, was expected to allow an increase of nearly 19.8 per cent in the non-suburban passenger vehi- cle kilometres. For the suburban traffic the estimates had to be determined by trend projection.

This compendium will provide a glimpse of the events and technological upgradation over last 80 years since inception of this committee. As very old records were not available easily, efforts have been made to collect as much records for the ESC, particularly for pre-independence period. Initially separate ESC meetings used to be held for General Services and Traction. From 49th ESC onward, which was held in January’1999 at Pune, a decision was taken to convene a common ESC meeting for all items of Electrical department. This compendium will be updated regularly so that all the records are available at one place.

  • India: Passenger Transportation
    Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.8, 2011 India: Inter-City Passenger Transport – Trends And Issues Raghu DAYAL Senior Fellow Asian Institute of Transport Development 13, Palam Marg, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi-110057, India Tel.: 91-11-26155309 Fax: 91-11-26156294 E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Primary focus of the paper remains land transport modes with a peripheral, though essential, reference to aviation. It profiles growth and development of passenger travel market in India. Along with a historical and evolutionary account of modal share underscoring the ecosystem in which the market has functioned, an imperative need for an optimal modal mix is suggested in the interest of the economy as well as environment. Pricing and cost matrix is an important element, so also the demand and supply analysis, particularly of rail services, for investment planning. Some essential features are catalogued by way of lessons learnt for an optimal modal share, which, in turn, implies judicious investments for capacity build-up and development. Keywords: Intercity transport, suburban, optimal modal split 1. INTRODUCTION Serving a land area of 3.3 million square km and a population of over one billion, India's transport system is one of the world’s largest. It consists mainly of roads, railways, and air services. In a few states, inland water transport plays a small supplementary role. And along its long 7,500 km coastline, India has 200 seaports. Since 1950-51, marking the commencement of economic planning era in the country, there has been a significant change in the modal split of passenger traffic.

The division was initially created as a transportation sub-division of Asansol division in 1946. A full-fledged division became operational in 1963. Dhanbad division was initially one of the five divisions of the Eastern Railway but after the formation of ‘East Central Railway’ on 1stOctober, 2002,Dhanbad division became part of East Central Railway along with four other divisions i.e. Mughalsarai, Danapur, Sonepur and Samastipur with headquarter at Hajipur. Dhanbaddivision primarily loads coal.Most of the coal is carried to ‘Up’ country power houses located in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and U.P. Coal is also loaded for industries (non-core) located in Northern India. Coal also moves for ‘Down’ country destinations viz. power houses located in West Bengal, and washed coal to steel plants located at Durgapur, IISCO Burnpur&Tisco. Other commodities loaded on the division are bauxite from Tori, Richughuta and Meralgram for Hindalco plant at Renukoot, lime stone/dolomite from Bhavnathpur for Bokaro steel plant and cement from ACC-Sindri and Lemos-Khalari. The territorial jurisdiction of the division covers Pradhankhunta(incl.)-Manpur(excl.), Gomoh-Barkakana-Garwa Road-Chopan, Chopan-Singrauli-Mahadiya, Karaila Road- Shaktinagar, Dhanbad-Sindri town, Dhanbad-Patherdih&Dhanbad-Chandrapura sections.

  • In Right Earnest the Editors Desk
    Volume 01 Month : Nov 2017 Editor : Dr. Siddarth Shetty IN RIGHT EARNEST Our half yearly unaudited financial results are out and we are pleased to inform you that we have made a modest Rs. 4.46 Lakhs excess of income over expenditure. Though the Club Memorandum of Association states that the object of the Club is to operate on a no profit and no loss basis, in terms of financial management, it is difficult to aim at such a status. Our efforts at increasing sales, cutting costs, developing new vendors, maintaining good control over inventories and motivating staff to reduce wastage, have all paid off. Joint Secretary Mr. Ganesh Kamath, who is also the Chairman of the Sub Committee on Finance and Kitchen, has been the key driver. Issue 04 As of now, we have not taken up any new large capital expenditure project. Our focus in the last three months has been on completing the pending works of the AC Hall and Gym. We have ordered a Cabin for our Security Guards at a cost of Rs. 1.40 Lakh which should be ready before Christmas. We have floated enquiries for 150 banquet chairs for the new Hall and for an automated boom gate at the entrance. The committee has also approved the installation of a new elevator which will cost somewhere between Rs.10.00 and Rs.15.00 Lakh and negotiations with 3 suppliers are in progress to get the best in terms of costs and quality. The Managing Committee has approved the affiliation requests of The Ranchi Club Limited and The Mumbai Police Gymkhana.

He was born in Burdwan district in 1899 and died in Dhaka in 1976. He is the national poet of Bangladesh, and also honoured in India. Ahilyanagari Express 6325/ 6326 Indore – Thiruvananthapuram Central (SR Thiruvananthapuram division) Rajmata Ahilyadevi Holkar (1725-1795, ruled 1767-1795) also known as the Philosopher Queen was a Holkar dynasty Queen of the Malwa kingdom. She took over reigns of the kingdom after the death of her husband and father-in-law. She moved the capital to Maheshwar south of Indore on the Narmada River. She also built temples and Dharamshalas (free lodging)at sacred sites outside her kingdom, at prominent religious places like Dwarka, Kashi Vishwanath in Varanasi, Ujjain, Nasik, Parli Vaijnath and Somnath. The city of Indore is sometimes called Ahilyanagari in her memory.

Pune was the place where Gandhiji was imprisoned and where his wife passed away, and Ahmadabad was where he set up his Ashram.
