Hon'ble Minister for Environment, Forest & Climate Change Shri Prakash Javadekar today said that the Railway Budget 2015-16 was a revolutionary and people-centric budget. He said that steps initiated in this budget would not only improve safety, security and facilities for passengers but also enhance speed of travel on Indian Railways.
Shri Javadekar said that the budget will also address the problem of resource- crunch. Entrusting faith in the initiatives mentioned in the rail budget he said that technology-oriented services would ensure transparency as well as user-friendliness.
The minister said that Railway Budget-2015-16 addresses the Environmental concerns in a much focussed manner. It is for the first time that greater emphasis has been laid on environmental protection by the Railways. Creation of an Environment Directorate and initiatives like Bio-toilets, energy audit, water and energy recycling and sensitivity towards wildlife are highly praiseworthy.
