Annual Performance Report - 2014-15 Brief History of N.F ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT - 2014-15 BRIEF HISTORY OF N.F. RAILWAY The tea, oil and coal industries were set up in Upper Assam area around the 1860s and 70s. Transportation of the produce was by river routes down the Brahmaputra. A need was felt for construction of a Railway from the tea and oil producing centres in the hinterland to the river port at Dibrugarh. The Assam Railways and Trading Company Limited which was incorporated in July 1881, took up the task of construction of the first railway line - and the first Metre Gauge train in the Northeast region chugged from the river ghat in Dibrugarh to Jeypore road on 1st May 1882. By February, 1884 the railway line had reached the coalfields of Margherita and by May, 1884 another line from Makum to Doomdooma was constructed. This network formed what was known as the Dibru Sadiya Railway (DSR). About this time, an overseas market had been created for tea and jute, the principal products of Assam and Eastern Bengal. The Assam Bengal Railway (ABR) was formed in 1892 to connect the port of Chittagong by rail to upper Assam and provide an outlet for these products for the overseas markets. The railway also expected to pick up some of the already existing road traffic between Dhaka and Chittagong leading to the steady economic development of the area. The railway line from the port of Chittagong to Tinsukia (Makum) was constructed in three phases – from Chittagong to Badarpur with branch lines to Silchar and Laksham, from Badarpur to Lumding through the North Cachar Hills and in the third phase from Lumding further North to connect the DSR at Makum. The line from Lumding to Guwahati was constructed as a branch line to this alignment from Makum to Chittagong. The Chittagong-Badarpur section opened for traffic up to Badarpur on December 4, 1896 and was extended up to Silchar on November 8, 1898. It was for the first time that a part of the Northeast was rail-linked to the rest of India (with a river crossing between Chandpur and Goalundo). 1 NORTHEAST FRONTIER RAILWAY Besides the Dibru-Sadiya Railway (DSR) and Assam Bengal Railway (ABR), the Eastern Bengal Railway (EBR) was the third important constituent of the present N. F. Railway. These three Railways were merged during World War-II and came to be known as the Bengal Assam (BA) Railway. Thereafter, some of the company-owned railways viz, Bengal Dooars Railway, Jorhat Provincial Railway, Chaparmukh Silghat Railway, Katakhal Lalabazar Railway etc. were also merged with the Bengal Assam Railway system. With the partition of India in August 1947, the Bengal Assam Railway was bifurcated according to the political boundaries leading to the formation of the Assam Railway with its headquarters at Pandu. In 1948, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) was taken over by the Government of India and merged with the Assam Railway. The partition of India severed the links of the Assam Railway with the rest of the country, connected as the two were, till then, through the railway network in East Pakistan. For restoration of the link to the Assam Railway, the Assam Rail Link Project was taken up on top priority to provide the connection through the “chicken neck” corridor of North Bengal. This link was completed in January 1950. The re-organization of the railway zones in 1951 led to the merger of the Assam Railway and Avadh Tirhut Railway and these two formed part of the North Eastern Railway with headquarters at Gorakhpur. The then North Eastern Railway thus extended right across northern India covering UP, Bihar, Bengal and Assam, from Bareilly to Tinsukia and Badarpur / Silchar. The present day Northeast Frontier Railway was carved out of the North Eastern Railway and set up with its headquarters at Maligaon on 15th of January, 1958. 2 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT - 2014-15 AN OVERVIEW STATUS AS ON 01.04.2015 BG MG NG Total Route Length (Km) 3299.21 601.32 87.48 3988.01 Track K.M. 5038.95 866.25 96.98 6002.51 No. of Stations 436* 48 10 494 * including BG/MG - 2, BG/NG - 2 & BG/MG/NG - 1 State-wise route length (Km) : Assam - 2463.55 Arunachal - 11.67 Bihar - 327.42 Meghalaya - 8.76 Tripura - 151 Manipur - 1.35 West Bengal - 1009.51 Mizoram - 1.50 Nagaland - 12.85 Total - 3988.01 KM Coach Holding : 2673 (BG-2428, DEMU - 88, MG-93 & NG - 64) Mail & Exp.

  • Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47
    Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47 A P A R A J I T H R AMNATH July 2012 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Imperial College London Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine DECLARATION This thesis represents my own work. Where the work of others is mentioned, it is duly referenced and acknowledged as such. APARAJITH RAMNATH Chennai, India 30 July 2012 2 ABSTRACT This thesis offers a collective portrait of an important group of scientific and technical practitioners in India from 1900 to 1947: professional engineers. It focuses on engineers working in three key sectors: public works, railways and private industry. Based on a range of little-used sources, it charts the evolution of the profession in terms of the composition, training, employment patterns and work culture of its members. The thesis argues that changes in the profession were both caused by and contributed to two important, contested transformations in interwar Indian society: the growth of large-scale private industry (industrialisation), and the increasing proportion of ‘native’ Indians in government services and private firms (Indianisation). Engineers in the public works and railways played a crucial role as officers of the colonial state, as revealed by debates on Indianisation in these sectors. Engineers also enabled the emergence of large industrial enterprises, which in turn impacted the profession. Previously dominated by expatriate government engineers, the profession expanded, was considerably Indianised, and diversified to include industrial experts. Whereas the profession was initially oriented towards the imperial metropolis, a nascent Indian identity emerged in the interwar period.

  • 7392P Q16 IMPERIAL TECHNOLOGY-PT.Qxp Royal a 156 X 234 Mm Times New Roman
    Imperial Technology and ‘Native’ Agency This book explores the impact of railways on colonial Indian society from the commencement of railway operations in the mid-nineteenth to the early decades of the twentieth century. The book represents a historiographical departure. Using new archival evidence as well as travelogues written by Indian railway travellers in Bengali and Hindi, this book suggests that the impact of railways on colonial Indian society were more heterogeneous and complex than anticipated either by India’s colonial railway builders or currently assumed by post-colonial scholars. At a related level, the book argues that this complex outcome of the impact of railways on colonial Indian society was a product of the interaction between the colonial context of technology transfer and the Indian railway passengers who mediated this process at an everyday level. In other words, this book claims that the colonised ‘natives’ were not bystanders in this process of imposition of an imperial technology from above. On the contrary, Indians, both as railway passengers and otherwise influenced the nature and the direction of the impact of an oft-celebrated ‘tool of Empire’. The historiographical departures suggested in the book are based on examining railway spaces as social spaces – a methodological index influenced by Henri Lefebvre’s idea of social spaces as means of control, domination and power.

  • Speech of Mamata Banerjee Introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25Th February 2011
    Speech of Mamata Banerjee introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25th February 2011 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present before this august House the Revised Estimates for 2010-11 and the estimated receipts and expenditure for 2011-12. I deem it an honour to present the third Railway Budget under the kind guidance of the hon'ble Prime Minister. I profusely thank the Finance Minster for his continued support and encouragement to the railways. 2. As the hon’ble members are aware, the wheels of the railways continue to move 24 hours, all 365 days. Railway’s services are comparable to emergency services, required all the time. I am proud of the 14 lakh members of my railway family, who toil day and night with unparalleled dedication. I am also grateful to all passengers without whose cooperation and consideration, we could not have run this vast system. I have also received unstinted support from our two recognised federations and staff and officers’ associations. 3. Madam, rail transportation is vitally interlinked with the economic development of the country. With the economy slated to grow at a rate of 8-9%, it is imperative that the railways grow at an even faster pace. I see the railways as an artery of this pulsating nation. Our lines touch the lives of humble people in tiny villages, as they touch the lives of those in the bustling metropolises. 4. We are taking a two-pronged approach, scripted on the one hand, by a sustainable, efficient and rapidly growing Indian Railways, and on the other, by an acute sense of social responsibility towards the common people of this nation.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT OF THESIS This thesis takes as its subject the foundation and rise to commercial power of the British Managing Agencies in Calcutta in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As private partnerships they initiated and controlled a substantial body of commercial, industrial and agricultural concerns, in transport, coal, jute, financial services and, importantly, in tea. This topic has been largely ignored by other business historians, who have preferred to study the Managing Agencies’ eventual decline and extinction during the following half- century. However, it is equally instructive to examine the health and vigour that propelled young businesses towards the power and prosperity which blossomed before 1914. The thesis examines in some detail five Managing Agencies and the individual entrepreneurs who founded and ran them, necessarily selected according to the availability and usefulness of primary sources but providing a reasonably representative range of characteristics and business activities.
