    To Questions More Trains with New Generation

    82 Oral Answers [RAJYA SABHA] to Questions More trains with new generation coaches in NER *253. SHRI Bhubaneswar Kalita: Will the Minister of RAILWAYS be pleased to state: (a) whether it is a fact that North East Frontier Railway (NFR) is in the process of providing more trains with new generation coaches; (b) if so, the details thereof along with names of the trains which would be provided with these coaches and the cost thereof; and (c) the extent to which these coaches would provide safety and comfort to the passengers? THE MINISTER OF RAILWAYS (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL): (a) to (c) A Statement is laid on the Table of the House. Statement (a) to (c) Yes, Sir. The passenger coaches plying over Indian Railways have been designed with the necessary safety features considering the operating conditions over Indian Railways. However, with a view to providing safer and more comfortable journey to passengers, Indian Railways have decided to proliferate new generation coaches, namely, Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches, which are technologically superior, safer and have better riding and aesthetics as compared to conventional Integral Coach Factory (ICF) coaches. LHB coaches have higher carrying capacity, higher speed potential, and increased codal life as compared to ICF coaches. LHB coaches also have better safety features than ICF coaches because of a superior design that reduces the chances of derailment and reduces the possibility of grievous injury or death in case of accidents. The Production Units of Indian Railways, from the year 2018-19 onwards, are producing only LHB coaches. Replacement of trains operating with conventional coaches into Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches is being done in a phased manner.

    Structured Training Manual On Audit Of Finance And APPROPRIATION ACCOUNTS OF Railways Regional Training Institute, Kolkata CGO Complex, (5th Floor, A-Wing), DF Block Salt Lake, Kolkata-70064 June, 2014 (Revised and updated in November 2015) Preface Structured Training Manual on Audit of Finance and Appropriation Accounts of Railways Training Need: In view of Railway organization’s huge net work with multiple activities and procedural diversities in different Departments and units of the Indian Railways the accounting systems and set up are also different. The Railways in India are as much as Government concern as well as commercial enterprise as they are engaged in manufacturing and in selling of transport services thus earning profits, maintaining its own assets and paying interest (i.e. dividend) to the General Revenues. The Government Accounts are kept purely on cash basis whereas the accounts of the Railways are kept on accrual basis. While the Railway is required to keep the records, prepare and present the reports in commercial terms it has also to feed the information to Government in the format prescribed for that. Therefore, the Railway has to maintain various accounts and records for meeting the requirements of both. It is, therefore, necessary to equip the Railway Audit offices to conduct audit of Railway finance and Appropriation Accounts with the systematized training documents for continuous training of officers and staff working in Railway Audit. Hence, this Structured Training Manual has been prepared to cope up with the situation.
