Citizen Suggestions on MyGov and Actual Rail Budget Proposals
MyGov brings to you some noteworthy ideas suggested by citizens over the last few months to “Indian Railways” group and which are also reflected in key commitments presented in the Railway Budget of 2015 presented on 26th February 2015 by Minister of Railways, Shri Suresh Prabhu.
Suggestion #1: Swachh Rail
“SWACHH INDIAN RAILWAYS – we should ensure that the existing coaches are maintained and cleaned to have a feel good experience for the travellers”
Government’s Budget Proposal
“We want to make Swachh Rail the driving force behind this Government’s flagship programme – Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Hence, we now work on-Swachh Rail Swachh Bharat.”
Suggestion #2: Vacuum Toilets and Bio-Toilets for Railways
“We can have bio- toilets and the waste can be disposed off at designated stations only having facility to dispose-off the waste. “
Government’s Budget Proposal
“Bio-toilets are being fitted in coaches. So far we have replaced the existing toilets with 17,388 bio toilets. This year we intend to replace another 17,000 toilets. Research, Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO) has also been tasked with making available within a period of six months a design for vacuum toilets.”
Suggestion #3: Strengthening Research and Development
“Why can’t we have a “Research & Development” team in various railways zone and department who will work on various new ideas, innovations to improve our current services, infrastructure and technologies.”
Government’s Budget Proposal
“We need to invest in fundamental and applied research for seeking solutions to rail-specific issues. We intend to set up a technology portal to invite innovative technological solutions.”
Suggestion #4: Concessional e-tickets for differently-abled travellers
“Include disabled persons concession link in e-ticket website IRCTC.CO.IN to avoid physical hassles”
Government’s Budget Proposal
“For the differently-abled travellers, a special initiative is being launched whereby they can purchase concessional etickets after one-time registration”
Suggestion #5: Online payment for food
“Food payments should be allowed online like Rajdhani to curb corruption in pantry services. “
Government’s Budget Proposal
“Food can be ordered through the IRCTC website at the time of booking of tickets”
Suggestion #6:Working with private food chains
“Private companies can be roped in to provide food and other facilities”
Government’s Budget Proposal
We are working to integrate the best food chains in our country into this project. Depending on the response from our customers, the facility will be extended to cover more trains.
Suggestion #7: Digital Display Network
“Install Digital Display inside the every compartment, which can show at least the train speed, station name”
Government’s Budget Proposal
“A centrally managed Railway Display Network is expected to be introduced in over 2,000 stations over the next two years which will aid in providing information on train arrival/departure, reservations, general and emergency messages and also any other information of interest to citizens. This facility will promote “Digital India Campaign” and also unlock huge advertising revenue potential.”
Suggestion #8: Adarsh Railway Station and involvement of MPs and MLAs
“All MLAs, MPs should adopt 1 railway station as adarsh railway station.”
Government’s Budget Proposal
“So far, 1052 stations have been identified for upgradation of Passenger Amenities at Station under Adarsh station scheme….”
“..request all MPs to use part of their MPLAD funds in improving facilities at Railway stations.”
Suggestion #9: Consulting ISRO for Railway Safety and monitoring
” ISRO scientist can make a low level satellite with full package & service solution, to monitor send signal about rail traffic routes, climatic condition, with satellite mobile tower networking”
Government’s Budget Proposal
“In the short term, RDSO has been asked to develop a suitable device with reliable power supply system based on theft-proof panels/batteries in consultation with Indian Space Research Organization, using geo-spatial technology for providing audio-visual warning to road users at unmanned level crossings.”
Suggestion #10: Railway Safety with Railway Over Bridges and Railway Under Bridges
“Talking of construction of Railway Over Bridges (ROBs) and Railway Under Bridges (RUBs) at the Railway Unmanned / Manned Railway Level Crossings in the country.”
Government’s Budget Proposal
“Keeping in view the critical need to facilitate the construction of ROB/RUB’s, a web based application has been commissioned with user-friendly measures for online submission and approval of drawings within 60 days and an MOU has also been signed with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in this regard.”
MyGov thoroughly acknowledges the efforts of the citizens for their participation in the Indian Railways group. We look forward to your continued and proactive engagement!

माननीय रेल मंत्री जी को मेरा एक अहम सुझाव है कि एक नयी रेलगाड़ी इंटरसिटी एक्सप्रेस के रूप मे मुगलसराय से गोरखपुर तक चलाये जो बक्सर,आरा,पटना,हाजिपुर,मुजफ्फरपुर, मोतिहारी, बेतिया, नरकटियागंज,बगहा,वाल्मिकीनगर होते हुए गोरखपुर तक जाये।क्योकि ये रूट को जोड़ने वाले क्षेत्रो मे यात्री बहुत है एवं नया दीघा पुल बन जाने से ये संभव है।

Making railway flexible and work done in the railway should be done so effectively to the aim of any project and so efficiently to fully utilisation of resources. And in big and busy railway station we should give contracts to private management companies for better work, co-ordination and co-operation of different departments, for clean railway, for healthy food, better organising, better communication, and so on. Manageing railways should done separatly from railway by managing co-orporation.
Electronic Display for reservation chart
Railway can put the small or Medium size LCD display on each bogie to display the reservation chart. This display will be fitted from inside the bogie without any access to people. When the train is on the platform, this display will keep showing the chart, advertisements, clean India mission, and other things. This screen will save paper, glue, human resource, printing, and many other things. This display will use solar or DC power to charge.

Railways should STOP providing subsidized fare and move towards profit making organization. The poor (only poor- BPL) can be targetted and given concession DBTL as given in LPG and PMJDY.
suggestion #11: Allotment of lower birth exclusively to disabled,pregnant and senior citizen
Such relief to this group of travelers in Railway is not noticed in budget despite of the fact that it will go long way in assessing the sympathy of the Rail authorities and many blessings to the rail minister in particular by these dependent people from taking ride to upper and middle birth for frequent wash room needs due to their specific circumstances of health
thanks
separate corporations or other semi govt organization or PPP body like konkan railway should be formed to construct the railway lines to hilly states like HP, J&K or North east. this should be clubbed with Highway projects also.local youths can be employed in such projects. for e.g. four laning of chandigarh-Manali highway & Leh Railway project can be clubbed. project of channelization of Beas river in Kullu Valley should also be clubbed with this. this can save a lot of agriculture land.

In our area people travel without ticket that too in reservation bogies.T.t.e also are involved in all these matters.T.t.e are the most culprit.strict action must be taken against all these.
