Part of: GS Prelims and GS Mains III – Infrastructure; GS Mains II- Governance

In News

Union Cabinet approved the restructuring of the Railway Board, including a reduction in its strength as well as the merger of the different cadres into a central service called the Indian Railway Management Service (IRMS).
The Railway Board started in 1905, and over a period of time, it has divided the management into several silos
The Board presently consists of eight members, including the Chairman, from different service departments such as traffic, civil, mechanical, electrical and signal & telecom
The newly constitutedBoard will henceforth consist of five members – Chairman, who will act as a CEO, along with four members responsible for infrastructure, operations and business development, rolling stock and finance.
There will also be a DG (HR) under the Chairman. The Board will also have some independent members, who will be highly distinguished professionals.
Restructuring of the board would help end “departmentalism”, while ensuring smooth functioning of the Railways and expediting the decision-making process.
