MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS( SHRI R.VELU )
(a)&(b): Ministry of Railways has provided educational facilities to a limited extent within the constraints of available
resources, purely as a measure of staff welfare at such places where educational facilities provided at by other agencies,
both Government (Central/ State) and private, are either non-existent or inadequate resulting in hardship to the employees.
With the passage of time there has been extensive development and expansion of educational facilities by Ministry of Human
Resource Development, State Governments and private agencies and accordingly continuance of railway schools at various
locations is being reviewed as a continuous process.
(c): List of Railway schools being run on Northeast Frontier Railway is attached as Appendix.There is at present no
proposal to close any Railway School on Northeast Frontier Railway.
