  • Railway Budget 07-08 Speech of Shri Lalu Prasad
    Railway Budget 07-08 Speech of Shri Lalu Prasad February 26, 2007 Introducing the Railway Budget 2007-2008 Mr Speaker Sir, Presenting my fourth consecutive Railway Budget, I have a tremendous sense of pride and gratitude. Pride in the fact that without imposing undue burden on the common man, the Railways are poised to create history by generating a cash surplus before Dividend of Rs 20,000 cr as against Rs 14,700 cr in the previous year. This is the same Railway that defaulted on payment of Dividend and whose fund balances dipped to Rs 359 cr in 2001. I express heartfelt gratitude towards 14 lakh railway employees who in the face of stiff competition have conquered all odds with an indomitable spirit displaying matchless zeal, vigour and teamwork. Sir, Lord Krishna was acclaimed as Giridhar when in a moment of crisis he lifted Mount Govardhan on his finger. However, he did this with the supporting hands of thousands of fellow villagers. Even though people are giving me the credit for the turnaround of the Railways, with all humility I would like to share with the august House that this miracle has been brought about through the tireless efforts of 14 lakh railway employees and unbounded affection and support of my country men. Sir, I would just say: Navajis hai sabki, karam hai sabhi ka, Bade fakhra se ham bulandi par aaye. Tarakki ke sare mayaron se aage, Naye dhang laaye, nayee soch laaye. 2 By rendering an unprecedented surplus inspite of the reduction in passenger fares, we have disproved the myth that Railways were sinking in to a financial crisis due to social obligations.

  • 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. Aparajita Mukhopadhyay is a history lecturer at Goldsmiths, University of London.

  • The Crisis of Public Transport in India
    The Crisis of Public Transport in India The Crisis of Public Transport in India: Overwhelming Needs but Limited Resources John Pucher and Nisha Korattyswaroopam, Rutgers University Neenu Ittyerah, Indian Railways, Chennai, India Abstract The rapid growth of India’s urban population has put enormous strains on all trans- port systems. Burgeoning travel demand far exceeds the limited supply of transport infrastructure and services. Public transport, in particular, has been completely over- whelmed. Most bus and train services are overcrowded, undependable, slow, incon- venient, uncoordinated, and dangerous. Moreover, the public ownership and opera- tion of most public transport services has greatly reduced productivity and inflated costs. India’s cities desperately need improved and expanded public transport ser- vice. Unfortunately, meager government financial assistance and the complete lack of any supportive policies, such as traffic priority for buses, place public transport in an almost impossible situation. Introduction Public transport faces severe problems in almost all countries of the developing world, although the situation varies from one country to another, and even from one city to another (Vasconcellos 2001). Perhaps most important, the lack of fi- nancial resources prevents necessary investments in maintaining and upgrading 95 Journal of Public Transportation, Vol. 7, No. 3, 2004 existing bus and rail systems and building new ones. Likewise, many advanced tech- nologies long available in Western Europe are simply not affordable in most devel- oping countries. Public transport systems in the Third World are plagued by chronic corruption and inefficiency, overcrowded and undependable service, congested roadways that slow down buses, and an operating environment that is often cha- otic and completely uncoordinated.

  • Title: Need to Undertake Proper Maintenance of Coaches of All the Trains Running to and from Kerala and Expedite Setting up of T
    > Title: Need to undertake proper maintenance of coaches of all the trains running to and from Kerala and expedite setting up of the sanctioned rail coach factory at Palakkad in Kerala. SHRI K. P. DHANAPALAN (CHALAKUDY): It came to notice that the coaches attached to the trains running through Kerala are very old and worn out ones. A few days before there occurred an incident at Alappuzha Railway Station, coming under Trivandrum Division in which a coach attached to a passenger train separated and broken into two parts while the train halted at the railway station. There were 8 passengers in the coach, and because of mere luck they saved themselves without any injury. In the latest event Amritha express from Trivandrum to Palghat derailed near Changanassery. These incidents point to the bad state of coaches attached to the trains running through Kerala. It is said that most of the coaches attached to passenger trains are even old by 25 years. Increasing of the interval period of maintenance of the coaches and the reduction of the number of staff engaged for checking and maintenance of coaches has also worsened the state of coaches. At present the two railway divisions in Kerala, ie. Palakkad and Trivandrum divisions depend on 3 workshops in Tamil Nadu for maintenance of coaches. There is no workshop at present in Kerala for the maintenance of 2500 coaches owned by Palakkad and Trivandrum divisions. It is very difficult to send the coaches to workshops in Tamil Nadu and to wait indefinitely for bringing it back after maintenance.
