Can we privatise the Railways

[sau953]

the magnitude of our railways industry makes it almost impossible for it to made private

Any sector when coming under the private players, will definitely lose the ethical standards of servicing the common man. It will definitely be profit oriented. I don't rule out the fact that even in govt sector it is the main criteria. But, we cant see things like garib rath in private sectors. Being in the nads of private players, the product will be shaped more and more as premium products and it will be presented to the end users who can afford it. Railways being the main skeleton of this nation, it is not advisable to do so. Instead, the railways can always be modified to present trends and be made more effective to raise the income by various strategies. Already certain methods are being implemented in our railways as ad campaigns and space selling ..

Privatising the railways would be possible only if we had a strong economic support. But with the population of our country and the way we use it as a life line only makes it all the more difficult to customise into privatisation.

Government can sale part of its shares in railways to private companies in order to recapitalise them and increase efficiency

day by day trains are getting more crowed which is not safe and comfortable anymore.privatisation may definatly lead to proper accomodation and good service and safety

In todays senerio railways in earning good profit so for the sake of govt earning it should not be privatised

It sounds as if a good idea to privatise Railways in India...but lets accept this...there is no enthusiastic and energetic organisation to take over....more over Railways is the oldest asset of our government and foundations were laid by british...so, govt should think of supporting it and should be proud of railways....we need to improve the quality of the railways...but not by giving it out. Lets not depend much on the concept of outsourcing....

Hey Privatisation looks to be a good option for Railways but most of the indian railways generate revenue from passanger trains and express or superfast trains and moreover low income people are the source of income to railways so privatisation cannot ensure low fares.
