RAILWAY SAMACHAR

How China surpassed Indian Railways in technology?

High rail network work,

Rail lines modernization

Issues and Opportunities

1. People in the Railway Staff College and IRISET Signaling Institute, Secuendrabad should get serious and start preparing student in new technologies, develop strong engineering talent and supply talent not only for our internal utilisation for outside world too. Shri C.P Verma- Director General of Railway Staff College is wasting precious time, resource and lacks expertise to run Railway Staff College. Also R. L Gupta, Director IRISET is blindly following age old teaching practices, lacks global perspective what is going in Europe and America. We are missing lot of action and opportunities.Ministry of Indian Railways should consider alternate options and take serious action in this regard. The solution is to put IIT Professor who has Phd and strong academic experience in teaching and has engineering connections.

2. There are huge opportunities to export our engineering talent ( track engineering, signaling, electrification) to Central America, Africa and South East Asia. Ministry of Indian Railways should take some concrete actions this week otherwise it will be too late.

- China has become an increasingly important global partner in railroad, thanks to an enormous invetsment plan in recent years to upgrade and expand its own rail sector.

- China is sending next month 400 engineers to California to build high speed rail network.

- CHina is also investing $2.5 Billion in construction of rail lines, equipment in rail innovation project.

Is Mamta Banerjee listening and taking note of things happening around the world.

Why can't Indian Railways do when chinese can do. Is Mamta Banerjee listening...
