“History has been made today as it is a momentous event for the Indian Railways. This inaugural cohort of probationary officers with 89 officer trainees have embarked on their journey as officers of Indian Railways at IRITM, signalling a significant step in the field of railway management,” said Hari Shankar Verma, director-general of IRITM (DG IRITM).

Additional director-general of IRITM Sanjay Tripathi emphasised upon the importance of taking government service-in particular railway service-as more than merely a ‘Job’.

“This historic moment marks the beginning of a promising and transformational chapter for these officers, who are poised to play a pivotal role in the continued success and development of the Indian Railways,” the DG added.
