May 21, 2006Indian Railway - A Success Story Under the Leadership of LalooWashington Times writes about the Indian Railway Success Story under the Leadership of Laloo Prasad Yadav: A visitor to the New Delhi railway station could not be faulted for thinking nothing has changed. Tobacco stains still speckle the platforms, bleary-eyed travelers are sleeping on the floor, and a stink of garbage rises up from the tracks. But after a few minutes wait, the tracks bring a fresh sight: A high-speed train capable of traveling 93 miles per hour pulls up, the first of its kind in India. A trip that used to take four hours now takes two. And this is just the beginning. The man who brought about this transformation is an unlikely sort. Railway Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav was formerly known for cracking jokes in rough Hindi, corruption scandals and ruling over chaotic Bihar state. He even poured cow dung over the heads of some reporters at his recent party celebrating Holi, a Hindu holiday welcoming spring. But few now doubt that Mr. Yadav has presided over an impressive business turnaround. He's the darling of industry groups and business newspaper headlines, doling out privatization of container traffic and 24-hour food courts. But more importantly, he's taken the world's largest employer -- a government giant of 1.5 million employees -- and boosted revenues by 15.5 percent without raising fares. D.H. Pai Panandiker, head of RPG Foundation, an economic think tank, said "Indian Railways has turned around and made an estimated profit of [$2.5 billion] in 2005-2006. What is important, however, is that, unlike previous ministers, Mr. Yadav has looked upon Railways as a commercial enterprise and not a social welfare institution. [He] is a hard taskmaster and will ensure his subordinates carry out the projects." Contradictions abound Indian media which gets highly vocal about the eccentricities of Laloo, has remained relatively less vocal on his successful leadership. I think its painful for the media to see unexpected results. Comments
It is interesting to see whom people know for corrupt practices and many scams performing so well as a railway minister of one of the largest democracy in the world. Its an achievement indeed, converting a loss making organisation into commercially profitable one. Hope our railways improves further with already credible performance from many individuals in it like E.Sreedharan (the man behind Delhi Metro and Konakan Railway)and becomes one among the best in the world. **Hemu** Posted by: Hemu at May 27, 2006 11:09 PMIncredible India indeed!!!! Awesome effort by Mr Yadav.No one could have ever imagined that a man who ruined Bihar has overturned the second largest railway network in the world in two years time From my memory there was always a talk that irrespective of whichever govt is at center, Mr Singh should be the Finance minister and now we can say that no matter which party is at center Lalu should be rail minister Turning loss making body into profitable industry and is in direct competion with domestic Airlines, Iam sure that Indian Railways will become one the best in the world in 5 yrs time Posted by: Kapil at September 2, 2006 10:08 PMDoes all credit go to only Lalu Prasad Yadav only ? What about the Chairman of Railway Board and his team and other executive teams who were working on various plans and schemes for several years. What about the previous Railways Minister. Nitish Kumar. Unfortunately, under the garb of political stunt and leadership, the politicians claim all credits which something is achieved. Have you seen the conditions of trains? Have seen the conditions of railways stations in the country. Have you seen the repair services. This saving was very much there within railways and was not coming to railways because of corrupt practices prevailing there. If Lalu Prasad Yadav is India's new Management Guru who has the strategies and magic to convert loss making enterprises, why not made him cabinent minister for Public sector or Civil Aviation, at least Air India and Indian Lines may also be converted into profit making ? Chaara and Cow has positive relationship. If more chaara feeded to cows, more milk, if Chaara is eaten by others, less milking of cow. Lalu's new manta, we should know how to milk the cow ;;;;; Sometimes, comendians, owing of their crowd pulling abilities, bring a lot of business to the organizers. Thanks Posted by: Dr. P.

Posted by: pritesh687 at September 30, 2006 03:41 AMMiracles cannot be a part of Indian Railways turnaround nor the management style of Lalu Prasad Yadav. DEAR SIR MR LALU PRASAD YADAV IN MUMBAI YOUR RAILWAYS TIMEMING IS NOT PERTECT IN CENTRAL RAILWAYS Hi All,
1) The rapid turnaround of IR was mainly due to better revenues from Freight. The trick was not to let any transporting trains to return without revenue. After delivery of goods to the destined place a bid is taking place where the company take part to send their good .That means no train returns without any revenue.It contributes to 70% of the revenue to IR. 2) The next important step taken was after delivery the company has to clear their stocks from the godown within 24hrs else they are charging penalties which means godown will be ready for next delivery soon. Any more input will be appreciated Posted by: V.Ramakrishnan at February 28, 2007 01:35 AM
