indian railways is in process of drawing a 10 year corporate welfare plan assigning total fund of about 5000 cr for improvement of staff Qrs & colonies .This fund may be inaddition to fund presently available under revenue & PH 51 STAFF QR ,PH 52 STAFF AMENITIES
It is just like SRSF plan of track where identified works were planned to complete in 5 yr period .Here period is 10 yr
Railways has to identify & get the works sanctioned to improve the colonies
This is right time for for paying little more attention to our colonies .In last few years number of staffs in Railways have come down from 16 lakh To 14 lakh & therefore it appears that more qrs need not be constructed .In fact in major colonies number of Qrs are either vacant or subletted .
old substandard qrs can be dismantled rather than stiching some improvement here & there .Area can be cleaned & improved environ mentally
More attention need to be paid in improving living conditions in present qrs & provide amenities necessary for good living
Railways board has directed that"Architects can be engaged to develop colony lay out & plan".if few qrs are coming in way of improving layout ,they can be dismantled & rebuilt as per new plan with modern amenities
we should make liberal use as this is rare opportunity.If this opportunity is lost ,colonies will never improve .More attention need to paid for places where Qrs are less ie 100 to 500 .Major colonies get regular attention & budget but small colonies are left on mercy of zonal contractor & IOW
--------------------
Is this really required? Why not utilise same amount as HBA for Railway employees for them to construct their own houses and live in them permanently. Any way only unfortunate one get transferred among Group C and Group B employees.
Also, once this extravaganza is over, the colonies will be back to same state in no time, thanks to the quality of work exeuted.
