Let me begin with a couple of personal experiences. As the Railway Minister of India, I visit a number of places and meet a large number of people from all walks of life. On one visit to Mumbai Central station, I was pleasantly surprised to find a group of women engaged in cleaning. The station looked very clean. On seeing me, a lady came and thanked me for allowing her NGO to adopt the station. For the last five months she had been volunteering a day every month at the station. She said that she felt very happy to be contributing her little bit to this national cause. In another incident, Alok Tiwari, an inspector in the Railway Protection Force, recently deputed to the social media cell of the Railway Board, shared his sentiments. He is responsible for taking action on passengers‟ requests for help on social media. He said that for the first time in his professional career, he has realised how his little actions were making a huge difference in passengers‟ lives. He felt enthused and proud to be part of Indian Railways. It is people like these who are the soul of India and Indian Railways, and that is why this is not my Budget alone.
