Merge, demerge-Why the Modi govt has gone back on its ambitious railways reform
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2024
- Almost five years after merging eight railway services into a single civil service in a bid to have a leaner bureaucracy and reduce departmentalism in the railways, the Centre has made a U-turn on the ambitious reform, once again demerging them. While some believe the reason behind the u-turn is a lack of technical expertise in the railways, others believe that the government has come under pressure from a section of the railway bureaucracy.

Better Modi Government focus its efforts on Corporatization -> Stock market listing -> Slow and gradual privatization of entire Indian Railway.
Then Indian Railway as a professionally run Company will figure out how to structure its human resources better than Railway Department can ever do.
And how do you control the rising prices which will effectively kill the most affordable means of travel for 90%of the country’s population.
It is sad to see the Modi govt. going back on it's reform agenda in other areas as well. Privatization of PSUs has been stalled.
thanks to Pappu and company!
When you don't have a majority then you have to listen to your allies
There is something called organisation development programme and intersectoral coordination training and implementation programmes. These are used all over the world to bring different parts of an organisation together to improve efficiency and output.
Only option is to follow American system, this is British model of administration. Recruitment of technical staff not GENEALIST ie UPSC.
Yes yes, the American railway system.. Literally the worst of all railway systems on the planet
could you explain further , America doesn't have public railways
Againn beaurocracy won against efficiency
Nopes
The unplanned reform trial failed again. Like many decisions the Modi government comes with an alien solution without any planning which is bound to fail.
Although the intention was good, but only good intention is not enough. Planning is also necessary.
Indian beaurocracy wants to enforce every "reform" that impacts the common citizen and none that impact itself
@@purushotamtiwari535 and who is going to do the planning? the same bureaucracy! who is going to implement those plans? the same bureaucracy! Do you think they are dumb to not understand the intent behind the so-called 'planning'?
@@LikeDeep-q6wYes bureaucracy is dumb in this case as majority of them are from non technical background so they are unable to access technical challenges and engineering requirement of indian railways
I am not so sure. Accountants have little understanding of engineering issues. You could make a case that the five engineering divisions could be merged, but in every organization you have to make a fine judgement about when a unit becomes so big that it cannot be managed efficiently by a small team. Then division into subunits is necessary. The converse is also true. Too many subunits creates inefficiency. Also, while both kinds of managers can be parasites, that is more commonly found on the accounting and social sciences side.
Great analysis. 10 years in power and everything remains the same except few flashy vandebharat trains.
Tackle corruptions first. Nothing will get done with rampant corruptions on every level of the society.
3:00 You said engineering officers would get promotion and civil service officers were disadvantages in the old scheme
Then how will the reform further lower their status?
This is not a simple problem. Accountants have little understanding of engineering issues.

In india govt companies run for employees not for people of india.
single tier management is the need of the hour. this clamour for careers prevails because of too many levels in th hierarchy. the guys on top just need to assign blames for initiating fact finding meetings and provide finances for their pet projects . the moment power, responsibility and accountability goes hand in hand, all of this nonsense will go away. In fact. promotion will be seen as a crown of thorns.
Thanks, for the article, not much is heard about railways which moves middle class of India. I was just wondering, why can't there be, a separate technical cadre and rest of the cadre, parallel posts or equivalent in both cadre would it satisfy both sides? So there no intercenine between the cadres. Least said, there is a lot of areas where IR need to catch up with the existing services. Than just keep introducing new Vande Bharat, and ignoring the regular trains.
Please explain little easy and what is the conclusion as per print is it good or bad
Shame on Modi.
Can The Print also do an analysis of the DFCC project?
1.4 billion+ people are enough to fail any system😆😆😆
Why the random photo @4:08 of some European railway construction/maintenance crew? 🤔
Pappu won't let India grow
Sejal Kumar doing an explainer now ???
Now this is the same as Rahul ruling India. Modi is becoming useless.
Modi government is alteast trying to reform rather than sitting idle just like congress was for 60 years
@@ii674 For the country, doing something and going back is same as doing nothing. The result will be the same. We elected Modi to listen to the people. Not to go back on promises.
Socialism and Bureaucracy is the curse of India, no one can solve it!
the word Babu should be added as synonym to disfunction in dictionary.
Waiting for it to become another Adani Company
Basically, Modi has been cut to size.
Anyone can be a generalist but not specialist.
Recruitment should be only of technical officers.
They can later on occupy non technical posts.
