Railways have issued a new Non Fare Revenue Policy for encouraging viable proposals for generating revenue from non-conventional sources.
Zonal Railways and Divisions have been empowered under the policy to take decisions regarding revenue generating proposals, subject to feasibility and desirability which, inter-alia, includes selection of specific events and locations.
As part of the ‘Skill India’ initiative, Ministry of Railways had signed an MoU with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship to make available spare capacity of Railway Infrastructure to MSDE for their skill development initiatives. MSDE identified 53 locations spread across the country and identified the Training Partners who will set up Skill Development Centres through Directorate General of Training and National Skill Development Corporation.
