  • 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.

  • Rail Budget 2010-11
    Speech of Mamata Banerjee introducing the Railway Budget 2010-11 on 24th February 2010 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present my second Railway Budget of the present UPA Government, within a span of less than eight months. I deem it a privilege to present the Budget Estimates for the year 2010-11 to this august House. 2. I am grateful to the Hon’ble Prime Minister for his wise counsel and his encouragement to me. I am obliged to my fellow colleagues in this House, all MPs, Chief Ministers and political representatives, Chambers of Commerce and the common people for bringing to me invaluable suggestions on new lines and projects. 3. I am proud of the 14 lakh members of my railway family - officers, staff, gangmen, each member who are working day and night. With their cooperation and support, I am presenting this Budget. 4. Madam, while formulating my proposals, which I shall discuss later, I had two considerations. First, I looked into the economic viability of the projects, in the conventional way of rate of returns, etc. Most of the projects proposed by me fall in this category. 5. But there was another consideration which I had to weigh while taking a decision and that consideration was social responsibility. Railways, being the lifeline of the Indian economy, has to provide connectivity to most parts of the country. Should commercial viability be the only criterion to judge this need of connectivity? Or, should social responsibility be an important consideration? I prefer the latter. Our objective is inclusive growth. Growth for all is not possible, if there is no connectivity.
