fellow-passengers for change of the seats. It is not possible to change the berth after booking.

Issue at Railway/IRCTC
.
. 10 3
.
We do pay service tax to railway for offering good services. if train are running late then
why does Penalty clause missing . 10 time of railway ticket amount should be paid by
IRCTC for train late more than 3 hour.
To bring social responsibility for Senior citizen by promoting senior
citizen bill, save the seniorsAs we know about India is country of culture , supporting family culture and joint family culture ,
respective senior citizen But due to recent western trend these value missing to re-establish
the link government should have to come with new solution
1. Special reservation for senior citizen in railway means at least lower birthconfirmation if person is senior citizen
2. Surety of reservation if senior citizen travelling in railway
3. Current system in railway ticket reservation is not perfect intelligent. Most of the time if we choose lower
birth ticket required ticket was not booked and money goes in fail transaction. Or if we choose none to at
least book the ticket it gives middle or upper birth in railways train. So lower seat reservation quota
should be introduce by railway government for senior citizen , handicap person, pregnant women, and
girls like in our metro train. Proper reservation marking should be defined in our new train system.
Transparency Requirement in rail ticket booking systemAvailable seat should be shown by graphically in railway also and site should be user friendly
Two great example for the same:Benchmarking example and Ideas
1. Air line online checking and boarding pass system,2. Movie booking book my show site it shows available seat and allow us to choose the
seat available.3. Volvo bus booking site
4. Need of transparency in rail ticket booking system available seat should be shown by graphically in railway
also ( two great example for the same: air line online checking and boarding pass system, and 2ndone as we
book any movie ticket by book my show site it shows available seat and allow us to choose the seat available.

Blogger: http://vishesh2014.blogspot.in/
Solutions Identified:
1. Tough quality checks should be put in place for selecting food vendors2. Contracts should be given to big and established vendors3. Clear charter, quality and service metrics to be given to catering vendors4. Food contracts should be reviewed every quarter to keep vendors on toes
5. High penalty should be imposed on defaulting/non performing contractors6. Standard dispensing machine should be installed for items like milk, cornflakes,coffee, tea, pre made snacks, etc.
7. Passengers should be able to pre-order from a fixed menu8. Menu cards and price list is to be displayed in the coaches9. Food contractor's name and contact number, along with the concerned IRCTC
supervisor's name and contact number are to be displayed in each bogie10. The serving boys should necessarily wear a clean uniform and identity cards11. Pantry boys should be trained on maintaining hygiene and cleanliness12. CCTV should be installed in the pantry cars13. Instead of carrying trays in hand, the waiters should be provided with trolleys
14. The unauthorised vendors should not be allowed to enter the platforms15. Regular surprise quality checks of the pantry should be done by senior officials16. An effective online/mobile based citizen feedback mechanism should be set up17. Citizens should be able to rate Food and Service via the Make Railways Better
circle18. Railway officer must take action on any complaint within specified period of time19. Pantry coach should be redesigned with modern facilities and amenities20. Engaging Local Self Help Group of Railway Travellers to be a feet on the ground
and a secondary checkpoint can improve the situation21. Regular feedback should be taken from passengers like the local circles22. IRCTC should consider consulting with a Food Technological Research Institute
for comprehensive advice on food quality, food safety and nutritionMy Feedback:
1. Increasing the competition in food chain and restaurant inside the platform or railwaystation- all big food chain supplier need to be invite like Tata, Birla, Reliance,Haldiram, Agarwal sweets, Nestle, Mahindra, Pepsi, IRCTC, many more dedicatedIndian companies for India economy growth . To reduce black money all transactionshould be bar coded or computerize with pan / tin Number associated in all foodcorners.
2. Ratio of food chain corners at least 8-10 per platform.
In India population is more than 125 caror and we are unable to get good food andwater in railway Station and bus stop. If some big player comes in this field just
