“The role of Indian Railways in this journey of social and economic development has also been huge since the time British left India. The Indian Railways is the lifeline of the nation. It is one of the principle engines of the Indian Economy, which is one of the fastest growing economies on the global scene. Rail-based transport of passengers and freight has assumed greater significance because of the efficiency and competitive advantages inherent in the technologies used by the system. Railway is the cheapest mode of transportation in the country. We also extend 53 types of concessions in addition to transportation of essential commodities which further burdens the railway finances. In this scenario, it is very important that all Railways men work towards increasing productivity and reducing cost of operations. Our workshop has also been contributing in its own way in the overall development of Indian Railways. It is one of the premiere workshops on the Indian Railways known for it’s excellent quality of workmanship and culture”, added Neeraj.
