CAPACITY BUILDING PLANS
7n the preceding pages, the detail of present training practices and facilities for
training on akistan Railways have been discussed which is based on thedocumented information, reference books, visits and discussions with officers and
officials, attached with training and training institutes; and the trainees themselves!
"ccordingly on the following pages a few suggestions are being given, which, can
be planned out for implementation!
The training imparted in various Railway 7nstitutions, is purely technical in
accordance with the Rules and Regulations and directives from akistan Railways,
given from time to time concerning Railway #orking and its >perations!
7nstruction Books for use of particular Technology or apparatuses introduced on the
Railway system are also the part of syllabi at these training institutions!
Therefore, this training, instead of opening the outlook of trainees restricts them to
follow the rules for safe train operation and an environment of discipline to achieve
the same! The human and humane part of Human Resource Development and
(anagement seems missing which should be created!
1. DE>ELOPMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE
rovision of =uality infrastructure for imparting effective and =uality training to
the members of an organization, is a prere=uisite, to play their role for the
achievement of its obectives! Therefore development of infrastructure should
get foremost priority of any capacity building plan!
2. REGULAR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The administration wing, academic block, hostels and residentional area should
be regularly maintained on periodical basis to avoid any serious damage to the
same, warranting maor repairs, at any point of time; and also provide proper
environment for the students and members of the staff!
2A

21/26
.or this purpose it is also necessary that the responsibility and prioritization of
the same should be with the Head of the "cademy which presently is being
done by the Head=uarters >ffice!
7n addition to the routine maintenance of infrastructure of the "cademy, there
are other areas for improvement which either have been postponed or not
initiated at all! These have been briefly touched below!
3. ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIALIED TRAINING INSTITUTE
CENTRE ACADEMY FOR DIRECTLY RECRUITED OFFICERS
resently, no such facility is available on akistan Railways for this purpose as
is the case of other departments and occupational groups!
"fter being selected by the .ederal ublic &ommission, the officers belonging
to occupational 6roups completing their training at the &ivil %ervices "cademy;
and others, without such training, are directed to the akistan Railways
"cademy for %pecialized Technical Training, concerning their discipline!
7n this regard, it has markedly been noticed that the standard of boarding and
lodging and training facilities is far low as compared to what is available at
similar training institutions for other groups!They are housed in one of the
hostels, slightly attended as to the hostels for the staff! #ithout any facilities to
groom the future managers of any organization, which, =uietly start inecting an
element of frustration, dissatisfaction, agitation and implied desire to leave the
organization, instead of owning it, is the resultant state of mind! The loyalty
towards the organization, since you have been allocated or oined the same,
should not be taken as granted!
This issue should be taken up on priority by the Railway "dministration and
separate 5unit of training facilities- as is available to other groups, should be
built at any suitable place in the premises of akistan Railway "cademy!
20

8/18/2019 Capacity Building Plans for Training and Training Practices on Pakistan Railways
22/26
This should also be done in case of akistan Railway "ccounts Training &entre,
to avoid frustration among the members of the staff as well as the trainees! "t
least they should get what they were having eight years ago!
:. PRO>ISION OF HIGH TECH E=UIPMENT FOR TRAINING
rovision of high tech audio visual aids and 7T e=uipment in any training
institute are necessary for effective communication due to continuous induction
of high tech e=uipment in the organization! These should be provided on
priority to all the training institutions of R!
;. IMPRO>EMENT OF THE LIBRARIES
rint (edium still has its importance while imparting training; and the books
are the best example! Therefore, the libraries at all the training centres should be
provided and improved under the supervision of =ualified librarians!
EMENT OF MODEL ROOMS AND E=UIP THESE AT
MODERN LE>EL
The improvement of model rooms and labs should be a continuous process in
accordance with the changes improvements in the Railways %ystem in the
areas of Railway >perations, $ocomotives, &arriages, #agons, %ignalling and
Telecommunication!
. TRANSPORT FACILITIES
The road vehicles provided at the training centres for official use of the
students, staff and officers are either =uite old or not available at all! "ll the
training centres should be provided with road transport for field trips etc! The
old fleet of road vehicles should be replaced gradually!
6. HOSTELS FOR WOMEN
"ccording to the new recruitment policy, the reserved =uota for the women is
increasing and they are being recruited in almost all the categories of akistan
Railways! They have to undergo training in the training institutions at all stages,
especially, at the akistan Railways "cademy! However there is no separate
accommodation available for them; and a lot of difficulties are being
22
-
8/18/2019 Capacity Building Plans for Training and Training Practices on Pakistan Railways
23/26
experienced in this regard! Therefore to begin with, a hostel exclusively for the
women should be constructed in the "cademy!
. MEDICAL FACILITIES
"s a large number of students are attending training centres, therefore provision
of reasonable medical facilities and staff is in the larger interests of the
participants attending training courses especially at R" is necessary!
15. ADE=UATE ACCOMMODATION
"pparently the accommodation facilities, in the training centres are considered
ade=uate but due to bunching of courses, at times, these are congested!
Therefore these should be rationally increased keeping in view the peak
re=uirement and avoid over crowding!
11. TRAINING OF TRAINERS =UALIFIED INSTRUCTING STAFF
resently the directing instructing staff and officers are selected for the
training centres from amongst the permanent members of the regular staff of
akistan Railways! They are engaged for training without attending any
trainers- course! Therefore, at times, inspite of being competent, they are not
able to fully communicate and impart training effectively! Therefore it is
necessary that their capacity to teach should be enhanced either by getting
them trained at any suitable training institutes or having a liaison with the
one which can impart such training in the railway training centres!
12. TRAINING OB7ECTI>ES
7n the present system of tainting, the maor obective of trainee is to get through
the examination after a training course! The very obectives of training for self
development, personal growth potential and enhance the self E worth towards
the achievement of organization-s goal are left behind! This attitude should be
changed by overhauling the present training system without compromising the
primary obective of preparing the people for safe and efficient train operation!

13. ADMINISTRATI>E TRAINING
resently no administrative training is provided either to the staff or the officers!
The officers of the Traffic &ommercial 6roup have some insight in the subect
as they have 4:0A months training at the &ivil %ervices "cademy, whereas other
officers lack this opportunity! There is need that a brief course on the subect
should be designed and introduced as a module for all who attend R"!
1:. CUSTOMERS HANDLING TRAINING
akistan Railways is a service department dealing with a large number of
customers 'passengers and traders* but they are not trained to deal with them, in
any of the training centres including R"! This is e=ually important for building
the image of the organization; therefore such courses should also be designed
and introduced especially in the R"!
1;. DURATION OF PROBATION TRAINING
>ver the period the training period of all the officers of different disciplines has
been reduced 'from two years to almost one year*! However, it still varies from
discipline to discipline! This should be rationalized and a uniform policy for all
the officers should be adopted! However this should not be compromised with
the =uality of the training as it has to go a long way for deliverance by the
officers!
1ELOPMENT
resently the Research and Development are not being undertaken at akistan
Railway "cademy for want of facilities re=uired for the same! This is a grey
area which has to be developed by augmenting the facilities for this purpose!
1. CONTROL OF TRAINING ACTI>ITIES AND TRAINING INSTITUTES
6eneral (anager '#elfare and Training* has been posted on akistan Railways!
This administrative change demands that all the Training .acilities and allied
matters should be under one umbrella for effective deliverance of the training
with a uniform policy!
28
-
8/18/2019 Capacity Building Plans for Training and Training Practices on Pakistan Railways
25/26
%imilarly all the Training &entres at the akistan Railways "cademy should
be under one person i!e! the Director 6eneral R" for a coordinated
delivery within the available resources which can be pooled for this purpose!
16. OB7ECTI>E ORIENTED EFFECTI>E SYLLABI FOR THE
TRAINING OF OFFICERS AND STAFF
The training imparted at the "cademy is primarily for the railway operation in
accordance with the Rules, (anuals '%tandard >perating rocedures* and
7nstructions (aintenance Reference Books received with the new e=uipment
and technology!
However, in addition to that, new and modern concepts of training to
enhance the productivity of workers as well as officers by changing training
environment should be developed in cooperation with other HRD specialized
institutions!
The revision of the %yllabi is a continuous process at this "cademy, which is
mostly demand oriented, in line with the actual working on the Railway
%ystem! However in case of officers of the occupational group, the syllabus
has been updated in line with the railway working, directives from the
.ederal ublic %ervice &ommission; and lately from the ational %chool of
olicy (anagement! The syllabi of the officers belonging to other disciplines
are also re:orientated in consultation with the Technical Heads of the
respective Departments and the (inistry of Railways!
Therefore to keep the directing staff updated plans should be made to expose
them to these developments, both inside or outside the country!
1. DEGREE PROGRAMME FOR OFFICERS
The officers, after allocation to akistan Railways, undergo almost one year
specialized training in the akistan Railways "cademy, including field training!
To make full use of this training, it would be appropriate, that after completing
this training they should awarded a (asters Degree in their respective discipline!
23

26/26
7n this regard R should coordinate with the 9niversity of )ngineering @
Technology and ational (anagement &ollege for determining a criterion to
satisfy them to do so! "s we were informed, some progress has been made in
case of members of occupations group!
25. PRI>ATE PUBLIC COOPERATION
akistan Railways has huge training infrastructures over the system and no
doubt making best use of it! However the training is through the staff and
officers selected from the akistan Railways; and no new blood is inducted
in resulting a limited professional vision of the trainees and many a
concepts which should have been the part of training for an organization like
akistan Railways, are ignored! This is mainly for the reason that the
Railway training institutions do not have the paraphernalia for the same! This
can be resolved if R approaches some organization to enter into a rivate
ublic &ooperation by oining hands together to train the railways staff and
officers in line with the new concepts of HRD to make them and effective
member of the organization to deliver the maximum!
