  • Indian Railways Budget Speech 2005-06 744 Speech of Shri Lalu
    Indian Railways Budget Speech 2005-06 Speech of Shri Lalu Prasad Introducing the Railway Budget for 2005-06, on 26 th February 2005. Mr. Speaker, 1. Sir, I rise to present the Budget Estimates for 2005-06 for the Indian Railways. I am presenting this budget at a point in time when the Indian economy reflects a vibrant growth. The Tenth Plan envisages an economic growth of eight per cent. This requires significant investment in infrastructure, of which railways are important and integral part, through larger public and private investment. This also needs greater efficiency in these sectors and sound fiscal management for financial viability. 2. Indian Railways have a critical role in ensuring the continued economic development of the country. We have drawn up an ambitious plan for meeting the increasing and emerging demands of the economy through the provision of world-class infrastructure. We will work not only towards streamlining the passenger services further and ensuring a palpable improvement in the quality of passenger services but also initiate a gamut of commercial, operational and investment – oriented initiatives in the freight sector thereby doing everything possible to improve Railways’ share in the transport sector. I shall outline these policy decisions in the course of my speech. Review of Physical and Financial Performance in 2004-05 3. Sir, when I presented the first railway budget of the United Progressive Alliance Government, the so called intelligentsia had criticized it as a populist one since I had not increased railway fares and freight. I have immense pleasure in reporting to this August House that with the untiring efforts of lakhs of railway employees, the physical as well as financial performance of Railways in the first nine months of the current financial year has been excellent, thereby belying this criticism.

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.

Pune was the place where Gandhiji was imprisoned and where his wife passed away, and Ahmadabad was where he set up his Ashram.
