India to get it's first railway university in Vadodara .


Vadodara will be home to the country's first railway university , minister of state for railways Manoj Sinha has said. Sinha who was on a two days visit to Gujarat said that the state government was helping Indian railways identify land to set up a full fledged railway university. "The present campus for National Academy of Indian Railways (NAIR),Vadodara, will be initially used to start the railway university. After land acquisition, a full fledged university will be started here," he said. He also added that the proposal to set up the railway university had been declared by the railway ministry in December 2015.
The ministry of human resources development has worked out for this model and will soon place it in the Parliament for approval. "In the first phase the university will start offering MBA and MTech degrees, after which it will offer Diploma and BTech in railway operations," he said. NAIR, formerly known as Railway Staff College (RSC), presently acta as the apex level management development institute for the officers of Indian Railways.
This will definitely encourage the youth to join Indian Railways and help it in it's much needed development.
