INDIAN RAILWAYS A MASSIVE UNIT

Indian Railways started its operations in the year 1853 and since then, the progress in operational

quality has been tremendous. Also, Indian Rail is the largest rail network in terms of sheer length and

size. Spread across more than 6400 kilometers, it continues to grow bigger and complex to manage. But,

the unsullied service and ticketing facilities at the Indian Railways reservation center, regardless of

millions of customers visiting the center every day, is commendable. In fact, Railways reservation

website could be viewed in different languages and moreover, it features facilities like railway card

offers, travel maps, train schedules, festive season offers and more.

Being a public sector venture, it is completely run and funded by the government. Jobs are created every

year by Railways for thousands at different levels and people in India are aware about all the perks and

benefits that come with the Railways employment. Railways reservation management team has proposed to

incorporate ideas from top corporates to help them improve on the overall standards. This again would

mean huge job openings at the managerial level. The govt. organization is venturing into rigorous

marketing efforts both for spreading general awareness about rail issues and how public contribution

towards cleanliness is important.

The online ventures of advertising and pictorial presentations are designed to create awareness and

attract passengers. Indian Railways is also planning to lease out the cleaning contract to private

associations, to create better traveling environment for customers. The challenging tasks that lie ahead

are population explosion, technology enhancement, and competition from private companies offering air

travel services at very reasonable cost. Indian Railways reservation process online is hassle free; the

complete process takes only a few minutes involving entering of your personal information and online

payment. It is not only at the IRCTC official website but also at travel portals that the reservations

can be done. Do get it done several days ahead to get confirmed seats; confirmation cannot be guaranteed

with current bookings. If summed up, Indian Railways is amongst the precious assets of India.
