http://vishesh2014.blogspot.in/2014/01/how-can-rail-ministry-or-irctc-reduce.html
1. Railway will play important role in India double digit GDP growth
2. Railway mall conversion from old dead station - for example Patel nagar delhi station
3. 2 additional track laying off by private sector - 1 track for mall gadi and onother tracks for
passenger trains. this will bring lots of competition if one is run by private parties/ government
body.
4. Trains will be run by private party like reliance, Mahindra, tata.
5. Scope for new railway coaches design and manufacturing will boost made in India also
automobile sector vendors they will become new railways vendors.

6. New station mall creation and income from lease/renting

7. Lots of job opportunity creation due to all this changes
8. Same like flight rajdhani / shatabdi run and maintain by private sector
9. Bar coded Ticket automatic checker - no more free ticket journey

Railway Reform-every station should have automatic ticket

checker machine gates - like Delhi metro
Bar coded or QR Coded Ticket automatic checker - no more free ticket journey no more Ticket checker
required in Stations.

Increasing the rail kiraya is not only the solution to overcome from
operating cost. Something should be beyond the profitability Rail
kiraya should be reduce to 50%
Thinking IRCTC / ministry of railways should take some good step to find out alternate
source of income to reduce rail kiraya .

we hear that railway has given concept study to EY company but in a

year, no ground level Implementation.

Railway ministry and Suresh Prabhu ji only believing in hiking railway fare but ground level no
improvement in quality of services.

Railway ministry only hiding their operational deficiency by hiking railway fare. they are not working on
alternate source of income. Before implementing any cess or tax government should define penalty
clause for operational failure of delivering the quality services. Safety, security so on .

Implementation and corrective action for railway

50 % of reduction in Rail fair is practically Possible. We should not get impression like Modi government
has looted us in every activity.

§ Solar Panels to reduced alternative source of energy and reduce power

dependency for saving government money.
§ Advertisement on rail coaches inside & outside. Frame need to be established.

§ Advertisement on railway station and all platforms. Ex. Hotels & tourist places,
education, food chain, insurance etc.
§ Modernization of railway platform & stations like metro rail station.
§ Increasing the competition in mobile /telecom / internet in each platform of
station, all service provider need to be invited to establish their setup for
increasing quality of service in public benefit. Govt. income increase from lease
on these services.
§ Increasing the competition in food chain and restaurant inside the platform or
railway station- all big food chain supplier need to be invite like Tata, Birla,
Reliance, Haldiram, Agarwal sweets, Nestle, Mahindra, Pepsi, IRCTC, many
more dedicated Indian companies for India economy growth. To reduce black
money all transaction should be bar coded or computerize with pan / tin Number
associated in all food corners.
§ Ratio of food chain corners at least 8-10 per platform.
§ To increase the tourist special coach for NRI, outside country people, ticket
should be always available .To promote tourist places in train way. International
standard should be follow in these coaches.
§ Special trains for easy to reachable on tourist places, complete package.
§ All railway station should be like small mall all facility should be available like
movie, food cloth, maybe they can restrict /separate the way to go inside the real
rail platform to maintain the security. Government will get lot for income on lease
concept and taxes. Public will get healthy environment and services.
§ . To increase the opportunity for improvement all platform and trains should be
aim for ISO 9001- improvement ideas like station train route LED display, Station
advertisement Information Led display (Benchmarking Delhi metro trains)
§ Free internet in railway train & platform.
§ To increase the income for government body they need to launch the IPO for
establishing Railway mall, food chain, and alternate 2 extra rail track – one for
goods and one for public interest.

§ Holi places like Varanasi, Haridwar, vashnavdevi , dwarka, maihar, ujjain...many

more looking for special dedicated trains and special rules for senior citizen
above 55 years.
§ Tourist places like Tajmahal, Goa, Manali, shimla, masouri, jaipur… many more

Benefit:

Ø Government income will increase
Ø Tractability of income will increase in this food chain area, advertisement,
Ø Public will get better service.
Ø Duplicate brand will reduce.
Ø Unwanted plastic waste reduces.
Ø Better accountability of people traveled each day.
Ø International Tourism will increase.
Ø Holi places each to reachable concept realize.

Really not satisfy the answer given on Public Grievances Portal.

Government official at Public Grievances Portal only giving sweet English reply
Nothing at real level solution. They are not reading the issue and no willing ness to
resolve the issue

Looking for answer / government stand

1. E Aadhar soft copy not valid ID proof as per TC. Big drawback in digital India
2. Why does prices are too high for water from machine in railway station – please refer
below supporting
3. Penalty on Railways on failure of service delivery late running trains.

Looking for corrective action and support from PMO Office to stop this malpractice in
railway .This kind of malpractice will lose trust on government and railway.

Question -1 Why Prices are too high for water in railway station

Water quality improvement: Duplicate water brand at bus station and

railway station,

Government like the idea – I am thankful for the same but people are too smart they have unjustified
prices to fail the concept. Maximum price should be 1 RS Lt. to Implement minimum or plastic free

May be people running like bisleri / Rail Neel crate handles so that idea will not implement.

Unwanted plastic waste reduces.

Quality of service delivery is very important: so only big player

Just like aqua guard establish big filter machine at station they are filling bottle at
proposed cost 1/- per letter / per Bottle.

Strong Penalty clause for poor service, for any manipulation

Measurable: Digital display has to be shown for purity of water. RO, UV, Maintenance of
Machine, filter replace every and service
(Should not be any scope for any corruption)
Proposed cost 1/- per letter / per Bottle

Benefit:
· Employment increase,
· no more duplicate brand,
· plastic waste reduces
· Govt. income Source will increase.

If some big player comes in this field just like Relience, Haldiram, many more renowned
Indian companies and they establish their stall in every railway station and bus stop
then automatically employment Increase and due to completion food quality improve
and because they are big player they have to maintain quality everywhere. General
public will also get some assurance.
Government also gets earning resource from them, through advertisement in station just
like Metro.

Food quality framework in bus stop and railway Station.

Modernization of railway station & rail trains.

To bring social responsibility for Senior citizen by promoting senior

citizen bill, save the seniors
As we know about India is country of culture , supporting family culture and joint family culture ,
respective senior citizen But due to recent western trend these value missing to re-establish
the link government should have to come with new solution

1. Special reservation for senior citizen in railway means at least lower birth
confirmation if person is senior citizen
2. Surety of reservation if senior citizen travelling in railway
3. Current system in railway ticket reservation is not perfect intelligent. Most of the time if we choose lower
birth ticket required ticket was not booked and money goes in fail transaction. Or if we choose none to at
least book the ticket it gives middle or upper birth in railways train. So lower seat reservation quota
should be introduce by railway government for senior citizen , handicap person, pregnant women, and
girls like in our metro train. Proper reservation marking should be defined in our new train system.

Transparency Requirement in rail ticket booking system

Available seat should be shown by graphically in railway also and site should be user friendly

Two great example for the same:

Benchmarking example and Ideas

Dear Customer,
Please note that your reservation request is processed by the centralized Passenger
Reservation System (PRS) of Railways and allotment of accommodation is done by the
System without any manual intervention. The berths are allotted based on the system
logic, depending on availability at that point of time. Further the reservation through the
Internet is being done against the general quota and specific accommodation is not
earmarked for the purpose of Internet reservations.

Please note that at the time of journey you can request the fellow-passengers for
change of the seats. It is not possible to change the berth after booking.

Kindly note that according to Railway Rules SS Quota will be applied if there is only
one Senior Citizen (of the age 45 and above for females and 60 and above for males)
in one transaction and seats will be allotted according to it. SS Quota will not be
considered for the transaction in which there are more than one Senior Citizen.

Inputs for Rail Budget 2015-2016

Budget should have to be assign for this kind of best practices implementation in every station

1. Bench marking Kanpur railway station - good thing Kanpur railway has
passenger under pass to go to every plate form & to drag material and it is
quite helpful for passenger , this kind of best practice should be adopted by
every station budge should be assign for this kind of best practice

2. best practice by Jabalpur M.P. Railway zone - reservation system - digital

display hang on every counter , and passenger reservation form have unique
no . passenger can go to any counter as mention on display board, means
passenger need not to be stand for perticular row. it will faster the reservation

(iv) A six berths compartment in Sleeper Class is also earmarked in long distance
Mail/Express trains for female passengers.

(v) It has now been decided that:-

The existing combined quota of two lower berths per coach in Sleeper class
earmarked for senior citizens, female passengers 45 years of age and above and
pregnant women (when travelling alone) may be enhanced to four lower berths per
coach. There will, however, be no change in this quota being earmarked in 3A and 2A
classes.

· The scope of instructions regarding assisting senior citizens and physically

handicapped persons in getting lower berths in the train has been expanded to include
pregnant women also. Hence, onboard ticket checking staff are now authorised to allot
