“BRITISH OFFICERS IN INDIAN RAILWAYS”-Bossism in Indian Railways.
Absolutely true sir, Railway needs to focus more on safety rather than face lifting station development projects and tripping and quadrupling projects. All the projects are being executed in EPC mode, with project management consultancy (PMC) overseeing the project execution. No one is trained, on how the EPC projects will get executed and its modalities. Indian railway doesn’t care for capacity building of their staff & private institutes, it’s spending has increased many fold in the last few years, yet no mechanism to execute such large scale infrastructure, just throwing money and asking their employees to show the result, pathetic situation for employees especially in the construction, maintenance and operation segments. With many executing agencies like RVNL, RITES, Construction, Gathi Sakthi units looking after various construction projects in the Zonal railways. With no coordination from division, various projects are getting delayed and executed with poor quality due to unrealistic targets. All the green field projects are to be executed by divisional railways itself, so that it can be well planned and properly executed.
The work culture in Indian Railways, rooted in a colonial legacy, often emphasizes strict hierarchy and authoritarian management. This structure has fostered “bossism,” where power is centralized among a few, creating a challenging environment for frontline workers. Despite hard work, labour-class employees like artisans and supervisors frequently experience undue pressure, discrimination, and limited communication with senior officers. This hierarchical and bureaucratic approach hampers efficiency, limits upward communication, and reinforces an outdated system. Such a culture discourages initiative and reduces morale, impacting overall productivity and job satisfaction. Even after 75 years of independence, Indian Railway management is suffering from colonial hangover. If you want to hire great people and have them stay, working for you, you have to let them make part of the decision-making process, and you have to be run by ideas not hierarchy. ‘Ideas should win, not hierarchies’ otherwise good people don’t stay.- Steve Jobs.

Indian railways need privatisation. Once it is done—speed, safety, punctuality, inefficiency, pricing, infrastructure, overcrowding, etc, will be solved.
