Dear Friends,

It is our Honorable Prime Minister's firm belief that Indian Railway has the potential to become
the backbone of India's progress and economic development. This is the vision we all are
working for at Indian Railways with you as our partner.
18 months ago, when I took over the reigns of this great organization called Indian Railways, I
was faced with many challenges. I had the option of making small incremental changes or go
beyond business as usual. I chose the latter
Bringing in systemic changes was the need of the hour. It was important to change the perception
of Indian Railways from a slow moving behemoth to a responsive modern organization. It is
satisfying for me to note that we have made some progress. A lot is still to be done.
Our Prime Minister has asserted many times that our Government's priority is the commonest of
common man of the country and it is with this in mind, we worked on improving the travel
experience for our people. We launched a host of initiatives aimed at this.
An E-book on two year achievements of Indian Railways:

Some of the important achievements are:





  • Commissioned record 2828 kms of broad gauge lines which is 85% higher than 2009-14
        average annual commissioning. 7.7 kms lines commissioned per day against 2009-14
        average of 4.3 kms





  • Capital expenditure in 2015-16 was about Rs. 94,000 Cr which is almost double
        the average annual capital expenditure over the previous five-year period of 2009-14





  • Electrification of 1730 kms done in the last year is a huge jump over 2009-14 annual
        average of 1184 kms





  • A responsive 24x7 complaint resolution mechanism employed through the use of social
        media





  • Cleanliness: Swachh Rail, Swachh Bharat campaign, Clean my Coach Service launched,
        third party cleanliness audits conducted for stations
