Indian Railways is in for a major revamp in choosing the top officials to man the Railway Board like the chairman or chief executive officer and general managers of various railway zones across the country with the formation of single management cadre of Indian Railway Management Service (IRMS).
Top cadre induction is for the seven-member Railway Board (RB) or the apex level and a Higher Administration Grade (HAG) plus level for the next 29 officials to man zonal railways, coach manufacturing units and other wings, has been notified by the Railway Board recently.
The RB note stated that the apex level cadre are the Chairman/CEO, Members – Infrastructure, Traction & Rolling Stock, Finance, Operations & Business Development (four), one Director General (Human Resources) and one Director General (Safety).
