The rural development min- istry may soon notify some works connected with the Railways like afforestation and construction of approach road for crossings under its ambitious rural job scheme, said sources in the ministry. Last week, railway minister Pawan Kumar Bansal had sought coop- eration of the rural development ministry as a number of railway pro- jects require unskilled labour force and many of these works can be undertaken in remote rural areas under MNREGA. A meeting of rural development ministry officials chaired by Union minister Jairam Ramesh today examined Mr Bansal’s proposal and agreed with most of his suggestions. “Works such as construction of embankments, developing water ways, constructing pathways, clearing vegetational growth, afforestation and construction of approach roads for railway crossings can be MNREGA RELIE3 included under the MNREGA,” Mr Ramesh said. He, however, said no mechanical work like mainte- nance of railway track could be included in the job scheme. On account of the rollback in the hike of passenger fares proposed by former railway minister Dinesh Trivedi last year, the railways had to slash its plan size from Rs 60,000 crore to Rs 51,000 crore. Also, as against the projected internal resources of about 18,000 crore, the actual is likely to be around 10,000 crore only. The recent hike in diesel price has put an additional burden of Rs 33,000 crore on it, offsetting nearly half of the projected earnings from passenger fare hike last month. In view of the gloomy picture of the economy, the finance ministry is also unlike to con- cede railways’ demand for Rs 38,000 crore of budgetary support for next year. Therefore, the RD ministry’s nod to allow railways to carry out some of its developmental activities would be a big relief for it. sns
