      M apke jawab ka intjar karunga                    

     Thanku

My father is retiring in 2019 aug. Can anyone please tell me, when will be vrs option open for senior section engineers. What an Indian railway emoyee want, He wants to give career option to their child to run his life smoothly after retirement. he has served Indian railways more than 50 years. My grand father and uncle also served Indian railway. If I got a chance to work in Indian railway, I would be greatful. I loved Indian railways as I have been born n brought up in such envoirnment only. Can any one help to know that how can my father get vrs.

i want to raise my humble request to our Respected PM Mr. Narendra Modi sir. We are daughter/son of a Indian railway employee. Our father, grand father invested the whole life to serving Indian railways. But as I have seen in railways 80% of employees are not able to give proper education and good living life to their children just due to lessor salaries. These employees takes loan or borrow money on higer percentage to take care of their families and for good study for their children. The salaries are increased just few year back. And they have no one other stablish hand to take the burdon of him in the family. They have only hope that one day my son will replace my job and responsiblities. The people have lots of hope from VRS. One day this man will get retired he will have same respect in the railways and will be more than happy to see his son or daughter serving railways. Yes i am being selfish this time. I know there are lotz of opening in the railways and can be cracked through written and interviews. But what about those who could not take proper education just due to lessor salaties. The VRS option should be available to all railways employees so that they can easily survive in this competitive era. I feel they do not have any fault to compromise just because of the era has change. Its all our mutual mistake we never tried to guide them we never tried to educate them (talking about junior grade or 80%). Does we took proper step to guide them about this privitization or compitive era. I think no but I feel I should raise my hand first or may be I am not the first one. Yes I am selfish and want to serve the Indian railways as my father and grand fathern did.

If I said something wrong or disrespect the feeling of someone please forgive me.

I just wanted to come up this issue which might be in mind of lot of people.

Suggest me.

Thanks

Son/Daughter of Employee in Indian Railways
