SURESH PRABHU SENDS HIS MESSAGE TO ALL
RAILWAYMEN
In his customary message to railwaymen and
women on assumption of office of Minister of Railways,
Shri Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu said:-
“We...
more... have the onerous responsibility to provide
the best transportation facilities to the countrymen and
give impetus to the economic growth of the country. I
consider you all as my family members and as I am
serving at an apex of this great organization, I consider
myself as the head of your family.
Indian Railways is the growth engine as well
as the powerhouse of the country. It has assumed
enormous importance in today’s world not only due to
the numbers associated with it, such as the number of
passengers carried daily, tonnage loaded and
transported, its network size, revenues generated, the
sheer strength of its staff but also due to its intimate
connection with every Indian citizen.
However, as is true for every dynamic system,
a catalyst is required from time to time to take the
momentum forward. I would like you to be that catalyst
and take the Railway forward into the future and along
with it, India. I would also like you to own your
Railways system as one for its amelioration, progress
and its leap into the future.
Leo Tolstoy said, “Everyone thinks of changing
the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” We
must together follow this if we wish to bring the
change required in the system; this change has to
come from within. Our focus must remain utmost
safety of the passenger and employee and the quality
of services offered to our customers.
With the above goals in mind, we must resolve
to be committed in our role of sustaining the Indian
Railways as the pivot of the national economy, the life-
line of the nation and its binding force.”
Shri Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu conveyed his
best wishes to all railwaymen and women.
