However, people find it a pain to book tickets for trains especially if you have not planned your vacations in advance. Though many airlines give special deals and discounts on the air fares but still trains are the most preferred mode of transport between cities in India.

Indian Railways have been the backbone of India for more than 100 years. Many people still depend on Indian railways to travel from one place to another. The reason being it is still a cheaper way of travelling with various benefits like senior citizen benefit or handicap benefit. If you are travelling with children you don’t have to pay for their full tickets. Apart from being cheap, they are also very convenient because of the various travel classes in the train. The more you pay the better you travel.

Apart from travelling to up hills in North, many people even travel towards the Central zone of India which is Maharashtra and Konkan region. Hence, the Central Railways have decided to run special trains during the summer season. This is done to clear maximum rush and more and more people could travel during these months. In fact, Central Railways were the one to announce the summer special trains in 2016 for Maharashtra. These trains will run in the month of April, May and June.

Rs. 8 Lakh Crore Infrastructure Projects For Indian Railways!

Leave a comment

Indian Railways has announced the rolling out of an ambitious infrastructure augmenting program with an outlay of Rs. 8 lakh crore for the coming 4 years. This is to reverse the trend of underinvestment that has been plaguing the railways.

 Capital expenditure of the railways had surged form Rs 57,000 crores (2014-2015) to Rs 97,000 crores (2015-2016) and is expected to scale Rs 1.21 lakh crores in the current fiscal.

Facing under investment, the govt. has planned this massive program for plumbing in Rs. 8 lakh crore in the next four years. This enormous infrastructure program would consist of capacity augmentation, high speed rail connectivity and station redevelopment.

Senior railway officials announced that they are drawing up a concrete infrastructure development plan to utilize around Rs. 8.5 lakh crores in the next four years.

Officials were optimistic that modernization of this public sector giant will generate opportunities for economic growth by multiple times. A National Plan for Railway Infrastructure Development is being designed to include infrastructure projects for the coming years. It will help in expanding services like train berth availability.

The plan envisions that a part of the plan expenditure will come from capital expenditure component of the railway budget. But a major portion of the investment is being expected through PPP (Public Private Partnerships), multi-lateral funding and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) funds.

With regard to the huge opportunities in investing in this sector, railway officials said that, on one hand, the LIC (Life Insurance Corporation) will provide a loan of Rs 1 lakh crores for expansion of railways whereas, on the other, efforts are afoot to get aid from foreign countries.

At present, the railways has  tie-ups with 13 countries for cooperating in the sector of railways. For instance, Railways has signed a deal with Japan, amounting to Rs 97636 crores for the sake of a high speed rail project in the Mumbai-Ahmadabad circuit.

Apart from the Mumbai- Ahmadabad circuit, railways is also making  a plan to link all metros with high speed trains, called as the Diamond  Quadrilateral project, which requires massive dose of investment for fast train availability.

 With regard to station re-development, officials said that there was tremendous scope as over 408 major stations had been thrown open to attract participation by private sector.

The redevelopment program envisions vertical growth of stations by opening eateries, shopping malls, parking lots and much more. Online auctions are in the pipeline for opening up investment in stations for redevelopment projects.

Another option being explored by the railways is through private and public firms from their Social Responsibility Corpus (SRC). For the massive infrastructure program announced by the railways, the government plans to generate a part of the funds from CSR.

But the move to use CSR for improving railways is fraught with controversy. Some argue that Railways cannot use CSR as it is a commercial entity charging for its services and gaining profits. Others are of the opposite view and say that Railways can harness CSR for improving its services as the railways subsidizes most of its service to customers. While CSR is meant for non-profits, it can still be used for railways as it is a government subsidized service provider. Some also argue that this controversy is immaterial as CSR funds can barely make a dent in the massive fund for railways development.

About the Nearest Railway Station to Manali: The Queen of Hills

Leave a comment

Life is all about having more and more adventures, visiting new places and exploring the unseen, the untouched. India itself is a home to so many beautiful places that attract thousands of tourists, whether it is the historical richness of Rajasthan and Delhi or the beauty of Hills like Manali and Dharamshala. What attracts tourists to India most is the mystic, mythological and historic culture that it has kept alive within itself even after all these years of freedom and development. While for some, it is the land of Buddha, for others, it is the land of all great rulers like Akbar and Ashoka. Whatever it is, India has it all within itself- the hills and the plains, the monuments and the gardens, the markets and the food joints.

Manali – The Adventure Spot

Manali is a hot favourite among Indians as well as the foreigners frequenting this country. One of the most popular hill stations in the country, Manali is basically popular for the amazing treks that are organised here, and of course, it is the nearest destination from the rest of the country that experiences snowfall throughout the year.  It is specially frequented in the summer months when people want to get away from the heat wave that flows throughout the country, specially the northern states.

The youngsters specially love frequenting this place because of the numerous adventures that this place offers them- be it skiing in the icy mountains of mountaineering in the beautiful Himalayan ranges. All the major treks do involve Manali in their list for sure, and hence anybody who is looking for something that gives them a surge of adrenaline rush in their veins moves to Manali for an ideal vacation.

How to get there

Manali is to Delhi what Goa is to Mumbai. It is the easy to first come to Delhi and then go off to Manali from here. There are flights to Kullu as well, but if you want to get the real fun of the journey, it is better to go to Manali on Train. The nearest railway station to Manali is Chandigarh, from where one can arrange a car or a taxi to reach Manali while you enjoy the view of the beautiful valley on your way. It is better to make prior arrangements for staying and living in the area since it is usually getting a lot of tourists and at last moment you might not be able to make proper arrangements.

The Indian railway has evolved greatly over the years and there are trains that can take your from Delhi to Chandigarh in just a span of three-four hours. You can simply check the Indian Railway timetable and find a train that suits your schedule. It is better to start off early in the morning, reach Manali by evening and then rest for the entire night before exploring the beautiful city. It is said a good journey is what makes half the tour special, so make sure to make it count.
