India's Railway Board is vested with the powers to oversee and manage what is ranked among the world's top five railroad networks and one of the largest employers, with an estimated 1.4 million people on its rolls.
The board, including its chairman, comprises seven members, each entrusted with a specific area of operation, reporting directly to the Railways minister. The members oversee areas related to mechanical, traffic, engineering, electrical and staff, besides a finance commissioner.
"It is the highest decision making body of the railways, which approves all the policies and projects pertaining to Indian Railways," Indian Railway spokesperson Anil Kumar Saxena told IANS.
