    Speech of Kumari Mamata Banerjee Introducing the Railway Budget 2009-2010 On 3rd July 2009 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present the Budget Estimates for the year 2009- 10 for the Indian Railways. I am extremely honoured presenting the first railway budget in the august House presided by the first lady Lok Sabha Speaker of the country. 2. This is the first Railway budget that I will be presenting as a Minister in the UPA government. I thank our respected Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji for his valued guidance and support and I am also thankful to our honourable Finance Minister for his kind support. I have presented two Railway Budgets earlier and this will be my third Railway Budget. 3. Madam, I know how our Hon’ble Members of Parliament representing people from all parts of the country have high expectations from Indian Railways. They want new projects in their states and constituencies. They also want more new lines, more budget provisions and existing projects to be expedited. They want more trains and better services. 4. Railway is the visible face of the government and we are proud of it. Madam, therefore standing before the august House, please permit me to raise a question as to whether railway projects are to be measured only on the scale of “economic viability” or do we also need to look at the “social viability” of these projects ? Are the fruits of development to be restricted only to a privileged few and not to the teeming populations in remote and backward areas of our country? These projects may be economically unviable but are an economic necessity for the people of those regions who have remained victims of backwardness and poverty.

    Indian Railways Budget Speech 1987-88 Speech of Shri Madhavrao Scindia Introducing the Railway Budget for 1987-88, on 25 th February 1987 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to present the Revised Estimates for the year 1986-87 and the Budget Estimates for the year 1987-88 for the Indian Railways. Introduction 2. I am happy to inform the House that the performance of the Indian Railways both in 1985- 86, and in the nine months so far of the current year, has been one of continued improvement. The zest and enthusiasm evoked in1985 continues to inspire Railwaymen through the length and breadth of our country. I would like to record my appreciation for the way they have responded to the challenges of their tasks, establishing new records and crossing new milestones. There has been a tremendous increase in the productivity of both man and machine. In fact, so great was the improvement in transport efficiency that it is a matter of pride for me to state that the Indian Railways are amongst the leaders in the world in freight capacity utilisation leaving behind almost all railways even of the developed world. The Net Tonne Kilometres per Wagon per Day (B.G.), which is the most comprehensive efficiency indicator for railway freight operations, soared to 1296 in 1985-86 from 1150 in 1984-85, an improvement of as much as 12.7% in one single year. It was because of this, that in spite of no increase in the net wagon fleet, we managed to move as much as 21.6 million tonnes more as compared to the previous year, surpassing our target by 9.4 million tonnes and recording a total transport output of 206 billion net tonne kilometres, thereby, crossing for the first time, the landmark figure of 200 billion.

  • 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. Ahimsa Express 1095/ 1096 Ahmadabad – Pune (CR Pune division) The name is also sometimes given to 1087/ 1088 Veraval – Pune Express, 1089/ 1090 Jodhpur – Pune Express and 1091/ 1092 Bhuj – Pune Express, as all these trains are “derived” from 1095/ 1096. Ahimsa is a Sanskrit term meaning “to do no harm” (literally, the avoidance of violence or himsa). Ahimsa was one of the main principles which Gandhiji followed in his life. Pune was the place where Gandhiji was imprisoned and where his wife passed away, and Ahmadabad was where he set up his Ashram.
