AIMS, OBJECTS & HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF IRTSA

IRTSA was formed in November, 1965, with an objective to unite & strive for better service

conditions and emoluments of the Technical Supervisors on the Indian Railways. Prior to

formation of IRTSA, there was no platform or organization to represent this vital Middle

Management Category of Technical Supervisors on the Railways. Consequently the

category had suffered tremendously at the hands of First and Second Pay Commissions due to

lack of any forum to represent them before either of these forums (set up between 1946 - 1948 & 1957

- 1959 respectively).

On November 1, 1965, initiative was taken by a group of Apprentice Mechanics & Ex-

Apprentice Mechanics of Northern Railway, Lucknow, to form an Association to represent them

at various levels. Shri Harchandan Singh – who was at that time only a third year

Apprentice of Northern Railway at Lucknow - was asked to take the lead. He

immediately toured and contacted counterparts on other zonal Railways and called them for a

meeting at ICF Chennai, in the last week of November, 1965, The meeting was attended by

representatives from each of the 9 Zonal Railways and 3 Production Units.

Finally an Association was formed on 27thNovember, 1965, at Chennai. Shri Harchandan

Singh was elected as its first General Secretary.

Association was initially named as Indian Railways Apprentice Mechanics & Ex-

Apprentice Mechanics Association. Within an year thereof, the name of the Association was

changed to INDIAN RAILWAYS TECHNICAL SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION (IRTSA), in a

historic All India Conference held at New Delhi, on 27thNovember, 1966. The Conference was

largely attended and widely publicized in the media. The Association worked in coordination with

Indian Railways Foremen Association - which was formed in 1964 and which was finally merged

with IRTSA in August, 1970 during the All India Joint Convention held at Ajmer.

IRTSA has a strong organization and has made remarkable achievements – continuously

struggling for the betterment of Technical Supervisors and Railway men at large during the last

43 years in spite of the fact hat it has not been given a ‘de-jure’ recognition. Highlights of major

achievements are enlisted on back side, But there is still a long way to go and the

struggle must go on …..
