    Indian Railways Budget Speech 1998 -1999 (Final) Speech of Shri Nitish Kumar Introducing the Railway Budget for 1998- 99, on 29 th May 1998 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to present the Budget Estimates for 1998-99 for the Indian Railways. These Estimates reflect certain decisions taken by the Government after I presented an interim Budget to this august House on the 25th of March 1998. Introduction 2. In the last few months, Sir, I have had the opportunity of looking at the Indian Railways from close quarters. I have formed certain perceptions about their role, the present state of their health, the problems they face and the possible solutions. I would like to share these perceptions briefly with the Hon'ble Members. 3. Besides being a symbol of national integration, the Indian Railways are both a barometer and a principal determinant of the economic and social health of the nation. At this juncture, when the country is poised for significantly higher economic growth, Indian Railways cannot fail to match that growth. People must therefore know certain facts about the Railways - especially what the Railways can do, what they are unable to do and why. The Status Paper laid by me in the House two days back is an attempt to bring out these facts. 4. On this occasion, I would like to highlight a few of the basic issues that confront the Indian Railways. Sir, it is well known that Railways have a number of intrinsic advantages - they are six times more energy efficient, four times more efficient in land use and significantly superior from the standpoints of environmental impact and safety as compared to road transport.
