Indian Railways will Hire 1 Lakh Employees

It was not mentioned by Dinesh Trivedi that his budget contains many things which is important for development of India. One of the major parts which his budget contains isconcentration on more employment. His budget of 2012-2013 which reflects anincrease of Rs 10285 crore pays proper attention to employees of railway sector. Fine print of budget reveals that about 55% of the total budget is for the benefit of employeesworking in Railway, i.e. Rs 5723 crore approx has been budgeted for theincrease in wages, salaries and pensions of post holders.

On the other hand, new entities have been proposed to patch up with Railway Sector in order to improve rail transport in India. It is proposed that at least two entities must come up out of which one should be for better safety and the other will be for fixing tariffs and rates. As new entities will come up more employees will be required which will ultimately lead to employment generation. Indian Railway had about 13.6 Lakhs staffs in 2010-2011 which made it the largest employer globally. In 2012-2013 budgets, about 1 Lakh more employees are required so that all the proposed things can become successful.

Trivedi has planned to introduce some bullet trains in India which will require National High Speed Rail Authority. Though the structure of these high speed trains are not confirmed yet it is being planned that about 7 such trains will be introduced. For proper maintenance of trains and stations, housekeeping body is to be appointed.

So, it is good news for those who are preparing for railway recruitment exams. If you are not preparing for it then go for it…1 lakh jobs are awaiting of you.
