    Indian Railways Budget Speech 1996-97 (Final) Speech of Shri Ram Vilas Paswan Introducing the Railway Budget, for 1996-97, 16th July, 1996 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to present the Budget Estimates for 1996-97 for the Indian Railways. 2. On 27th February, 1996, the previous Government had presented an interim budget. At that time, approval for 'Vote-on-Account' for the first four months of this financial year for railways' expenditure was obtained. 3. Mr. Speaker, this is the first Railway Budget of the United Front Government. On the one hand, I praise the vastness of the railways, its contribution to the nation's progress alongwith the efficiency of railway employees; on the other hand I would like to present before the august House the challenges and difficulties which the railways face. 4. The United Front Government assumed office on 1st June, 1996. As a result, I had very less time to present the Railway Budget. During this short period, I tried to talk to more and more Hon'ble members and visit various States to know their problems. But despite my best efforts, I could not discuss the problems with all the Hon'ble members. However, I have tried to understand and solve their problems. I assure the Hon'ble members that these efforts would continue and those important projects which could not be taken up due to technical difficulties and want of time, I would definitely consider them in the Supplementary Demands for Grants in the next session. 5. On 16th April, 1853, a railway train reached Thane from Bombay after negotiating a small distance.

  • 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.
