CHAPTER-I

INTRODUCTION

SAFAI-KARMACHARI WORKING IN WAGON REPAIR SHOP/RAIPUR

Indian Railway is the biggest transport organization in India and playing an important role in

the development and economy of the country. Along with the Commercial activities, the

Railways have to fulfil the social obligations also, especially in the time of natural calamity and

towards the weaker sections of the society. For the healthy existence of such an important

organization it is necessary to be financially viable, which can be achieved by ensuring optimum

utilization of the resources i.e. Man, Material and Machinery.

With the implementation of 7th pay commission, the establishment charges have gone up

drastically and hence manpower has become an important factor in bringing economy in the

system. In order to check the cost of manpower, the Railway administration issues guidelines

from time to time, in the form of yardsticks, circulars etc.

Productivity has acquired a new and broader meaning in the light of highly competitive

economic environment, increasing educational levels, degradation of physical environment and

increasing population, creating pressure on the limited available resources.

All efforts should be made to ensure that the revenue is spent carefully over assets,

infrastructure and manpower. In other words, Railway administration should curtail wasteful

expenditure in operational and maintenance costs so as to bring down the operating ratio which

is the prime indicator of Railway’s financial efficiency.

Keeping in view of the above mentioned factors, the Work Study of Safai-Karmcharis in Wagon Repair Shop, Raipur has been undertaken to review the existing workload and requirement of

staff, in view of Railway Board’s instructions communicated vide letter No. E(MPP)2006/1/89,

dated 04.10.2006 the cleaning activities of all departments to be outsourced, improve

efficiency by implementing the multi skilling/MTS concept. The following methodology has been adopted for conducting the study:

(I) Collection of relevant field data, (II) Examination of records, (III) Direct observations regarding working of staff, (IV) Interaction with officers and staff and (V) Critical Analysis.

Total Staff Required 13 *It is a general assumption and the workload and staff may be varied.

3.3 Finally considering the minimum staff requirement form above table, It is established that the sanction post for safaiwala activity is not sufficient for general cleaning activities including with multitasking concept (gardening, watering plant, cleaning utensils in canteen etc.)

पृष्ठ कं्र॰ वस कार्य अध्र्र्न प्रकोष्ठ ,वर्ूप पिक्षय मध्र् रेलक्ष े

3.4 Scope of outsourcing: It is observed that no technical aspect is involved in the job of Safaiwala, also no specific skill is required for Maintenance of Sanitation and upkeep i.e. for Sweeping/ cleaning of all types of drains, toilets, cleaning of sewer pipe lines, roads etc. Hence, in order to reduce the financial implication and expenditure incurred on departmental Safaiwalas, it is suggested that the work of Safaiwala may be outsourced and given on Contractual System.

3.5 Presently Outsourced Cleaning Activity: The Works Contract for “Cleaning & general upkeep of toilet blocks, water booths & Tiffin Booths and sweeping & moping of floor of canteen, meeting hall and ladies rest room” was given to M/s VR Enterprises, Raipur vide acceptance letter No. WRS/R/09/17-18/03/TC/27/3457 dated 11/11/2017.

3.6 Reference Orders: 1. RB letter No. E/MPP2006 /1/89 Dated 04.10.2006 2. RB letter No. E/MPP2016 /1/59 Dated 10.01.2016

3.7 RECOMMENDATION & SUGGESTION:

On the basis of above observations and critical analysis, the following recommendations are made:

3.7.1 Thus, total sanctioned of 07 posts of Safaiwala (vac-03) in WRS Raipur are identified as surplus and should be surrendered.

3.7.2 In order to reduce the financial implication and expenditure incurred on departmental Safaiwalas, it is suggested that the work of Safaiwala may be outsourced and given on Contractual System.
