  • Indian Railways Budget Speech 1994-95
    Indian Railways Budget Speech 1994-95 Speech Of Shri C. K. Jaffer Sharief Introducing The Railway Budget For 1994-95, on 24th February, 1994 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to present the Revised Estimates for 1993-94 and Budget Estimates for 1994-95 for the Indian Railways. Introduction 2.1 Sir, it is widely known and universally recognised that amongst the World Railway systems, Indian Railways occupy a unique position. They serve not only as a basic infrastructure for the economic growth, but also as an instrument of fulfilling various social national objectives while, at the same time, being called upon to run as a business organisation. Performance of this role is, by no means, an easy task. Worldwide, the Railways are compensated for meeting social obligations, by the beneficiaries or by the Government. The Indian Railways, on the contrary, have largely to meet such obligations through their own resources. Sir, the budgetary support to the Indian Railways has been substantially reduced in recent years, from 51% in 1986-87 to about 18% in 1994-95. The Railways are now moving towards self-reliance. All out efforts are being made to step up the internal resource generation through increased efficiency and productivity and take recourse to market borrowings, so that adequate funds are available to sustain the growth of this vital infrastructure. 2.2 I am happy to state that despite the above constraint, Railways have taken up the challenge of change with commitment and dedication, with a fair degree of success. This has been made possible by better management, higher productivity, better maintenance and greater reliability of assets, technological upgradation and capacity generation, particularly through increased inputs in gauge conversion, to name but a few.

  • Names of Trains
    NAMES OF TRAINS Agniveena Express 2341/ 2342 Howrah – Asansol (ER Howrah division) In Bangla it means “The Fiery Lute”. This is the name given to the collection of poems by the celebrated Bengali poet, musician, revolutionary and philosopher, Kazi Nazrul Islam. 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. Ahimsa Express 1095/ 1096 Ahmadabad – Pune (CR Pune division) The name is also sometimes given to 1087/ 1088 Veraval – Pune Express, 1089/ 1090 Jodhpur – Pune Express and 1091/ 1092 Bhuj – Pune Express, as all these trains are “derived” from 1095/ 1096. Ahimsa is a Sanskrit term meaning “to do no harm” (literally, the avoidance of violence or himsa). Ahimsa was one of the main principles which Gandhiji followed in his life. Pune was the place where Gandhiji was imprisoned and where his wife passed away, and Ahmadabad was where he set up his Ashram.
