Restructuring of the Railway Board.

In a recent report by Bloomberg, it has been reported that the Union Government has decided to cut Railway Board’s compositional strength by 25%.

That, the move would entail transferring the director-level official and above to zonal railways. The move is expected to bring efficiency.

The railway board is an apex decision making body the biggest public-sector employer in the country.

The restructuring of the Railway Board had also been recommended by the Bibek Debroy committee on Indian Railways in 2015.

This was long mooted, way back during the Atal Behari Vajpayee Goverment and is part of Railway Minister’s 100 day agenda for Indian Raiway.
