1. INDIAN RAILWAYS HERITAGE CHARTER (IRHC)

(No. 2018/Heritage/ZRHC Dated: 06.12 2018)

Preamble:

This Charter outlines the commitment of the Indian Railway Administration to restore, preserve

and conserve century old rich railway heritage of India.

Objective:

This Charter aims at providing guidelines for Conservation, Preservation, Restoration, Repair and

Maintenance of historic Railway Assets, so as to enable posterity to enjoy and gain knowledge of

the past technologies and processes, which have been used during various stages of construction

and development of rail-based transportation in India.

Definitions:

Heritage Railway Assets -These include historic and preserved railways, tourist railways,

tramways and railway museums, historic fixed and rolling stock, fixed and moving structures and

equipment currently in use or otherwise, archival material, drawings, designs and prototype

models.

Preservation- The process of keeping a heritage asset safe from decomposition or quality

degradation by proper maintenance.

Conservation - The process of stabilising the condition of a heritage asset without undermining

its inherent historical or qualitative value in any way.

Restoration - The process of rehabilitating or reconstructing a heritage asset in substantial

measure, to regain its previous or original state.

Capacity Building - The process of imparting specialised and customized training to Railway

officials for meaningful preservation and conservation of railway heritage assets.

Articles:

Article 1: Scientific and technical skills with facilities required to preserve and ensure safety of

historic railway assets should be employed for heritage preservation. Where necessary, traditional

skills should be redeveloped and nurtured.

Article 2: Operation of historic and heritage assets using traditional operating procedures and

facilitating their presentation in the public domain is essential for larger appreciation of India's

rich railway legacy.

Article 3: The preservation and conservation philosophy of heritage railways and assets located in

public spaces should encourage participation Heritage of stakeholders and community. A metallic

plaque/logo of standard design displaying 'railway heritage logo' should be provided on each of

the heritage assets for easy and community Railways should also various activities for creating

awareness among community through events at Stations and media.

Article 4: The restoration process of railway assets is highly this requires understanding of the

original designs and specifications, to retain and reveal the functional and historical value of such

assets.

3 | P a g e

Article 5: For conservation or restoration of heritage railway assets, use of original material and

techniques is of great importance. If this is due to reasons of safety, legislation or availability,

contemporary substitutes should be carefully identified and part of the conservation or restoration

plan.

Article 6: contemporary safety equipment is required for heritage assets, the same should be

provided aesthetically and be marked.

Article 7: Wherever later modifications are necessary or missing parts required to be replaced as

part of restoration projects, such need to be visually and materially as near as possible to the

Article 8: Preservation and restoration of archival material is a delicate task. Special skill and

utmost care is necessary to preserve priceless documents by using modern techniques and to bring

them public view. For this, appropriate capacity building measures for railway officials should be

undertaken.

Article 9: In view of the steam locomotive being the starting point railways worldwide and the

most visible heritage asset, its preservation conservation needs special attention. Railways should

ensure that the steam locomotives that are still available in the country be preferably in working

condition or in full steam. Special attention also be paid to retaining and maintaining operational

and skills as well as equipment for the steam locomotive wherever Sufficient staff needs to be

engaged as trainees at locations like Heritage Steam Shed at Rewari to learn and imbibe skills

with regard to steam locomotive.

Article 10: The process of identification, preservation and conservation railway heritage assets

should be mainstreamed as regular activities of the railways.

Conclusion:

Indian Railways are at the crossroads of massive technological, operational structural change,

where old ways are giving way to the new. At this juncture, important that uniform guidelines are

formulated, which will herald holistic preservation of Railways' priceless legacy, across the

country. Such an initiative needs to be systematically planned and recorded so as to enable long

term sustainability of heritage assets through proper conservation and maintenance over time. This

charter aims at fulfilling this vision.

2. CONSERVATION & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA’S RAIL

HERITAGE BUILDINGS AS MONUMENTS

(Ref: 99/LM(B)/3/8 dated 13.04.1999) and No. 2005/Heritage/Immovable dated 30.03.2007)

4 | P a g e

2.0 THE RICH HERITAGE OF THE GREAT INDIAN RAILWAYS:

The history of Indian Railways dates back to the early part of the 20% Century, with grandiose

plans in the pre-Suez Canal era, for rail routes from Calais to Constantinople to Calcutta. At 3.30

PM on April 16, 1853; India‟s first train, steamed out from Boribandar to Thane, a distance of 21

miles.

Buildings and many works of genius have made Indian Railways an emblem of conviction and

progress spanning over 150 years. In this period; it spearheaded / catalyzed / led India‟s

industrialization and has emerged to be a lifeline of India.

Some railway structures are monumental in nature, with significance & outstanding value; from

the point of human creative genius or exhibiting an important interchange of human values over a

span of time on developments in architecture / technology / landscape or an example of a type of

building / technological ensemble / landscape which illustrates a significant stage in human

history. These could be grouped in terms of architecture, homogeneity or sites. Railways in India

were patrons of a style that tried to combine the prestige and relevance of train travel with

imaginative innovations of engineering. The Railway's immovable heritage; presents lessons from

the past, food for thought for today and visions for tomorrow. Through its preservation, posterity

can comprehend its impact on humanity.

The requirements and processes for conservation of the built heritage of Indian Railways

can broadly be summarized as below:

Putting in place the organizational set up with clearly defined responsibilities for

management.

Laying out yardsticks for selection criterion, grading and prioritization of action.

Preparation of an inventory of heritage structures.

Preliminary examination and assessment of the structure and its grading.

Detailed examination and assessment of the structures and revision in its grading,

based on the detailed assessment.

Framing up of maintenance policy and strategy for its implementation for each

heritage structure based on the detailed examination and assessment as above.

Setting up an internal legal framework for protection of the site.

Programming of activities for the conservation of each heritage structure.

Funding of various conservation schemes.

Putting in place a system of regular and periodic inspection, maintenance and

repair activities.

A system of recording, documentation (archiving the documents and the

information available and collected from time to time).

Needs for increasing awareness, training requirements, involvement of outside

experts and society at large (particularly various local/regional governmental as

well as non-governmental bodies.)

2.1 RAILWAY STATION MONUMENTS:

In the desire for improving passenger amenities and making model stations; development works

have been initiated at stations. The listing of the architectural heritage and its significant

5 | P a g e

outstanding national / world value has however, not been done. The strategy to be followed as

below, can be useful, to avoid irreversible loss of heritage. It is also useful in better understanding

of conservation (rather than undesirable and expensive beautification), harnessing of the social /

cultural heritage value for public / private partnerships and responsibility of protecting India‟s rich

rail heritage for posterity.

2.2 CRITERIA AND THE TEST OF AUTHENTICITY:

India‟s Rail Heritage; can be identified based on the following: -

i. represent a masterpiece of human creative genius; or

ii, exhibit an important interchange of human values, over a span of time or within a cultural area

of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental arts, town-planning or

landscape design; or

iii, be an outstanding example of a type of building or architectural or technological ensemble or

landscape which illustrates (a) significant stage(s) in human history; or

and

iv. meet the test of authenticity in design, material, workmanship or setting and in the case of

cultural landscapes their distinctive character and components (the reconstruction is only

acceptable if it is carried out on the basis of complete and detailed documentation on the original

and to no extent on conjecture).

v. have adequate legal and/or traditional protection and management mechanisms to ensure the

conservation of the nominated cultural properties or cultural landscapes. The existence of

protective legislation at the national, provincial or municipal level and/or a well-established

contractual or traditional protection as well as of adequate management and/or planning control

mechanisms is therefore essential. Assurances of the effective implementation of these laws

and/or contractual and/or traditional protection as well as of these management mechanisms are

also expected.

2.3 BUILDINGS (INCLUDING STATIONS):

Some of these were erected with architectural styles (classical, Gothic, Arabic, Indo-Arabic,

Saracenic and traditional regional styles). Major city stations were monumental in scale, striking

architectural creations of the 19 century, innovatively designed, incorporating local traditions,

craftsmanship and created a lasting impact in the city. In many cases, Railway stations became the

hub or nucleus round which the growth of city happened. The town stations evolved like cultural

centres with community relationships and there is a need to maintain the homogeneity of the

station area with the community within the town that it serves. Smaller stations were vernacular in

style to suit the local terrain, material and tastes.

6 | P a g e

Mumbai CST Building is now a World Heritage Site. It is possible to propose Churchgate, Old

Delhi Station, Chennai Central Building and Howrah Station Building; as a serial nominations for

World Heritage inscription.

A National listing and grading of Buildings of heritage significance on Indian Railways needs to

be done. This listing and grading may be carried out periodically i.e. once every 5 years.

2.4

Research of the physical / documentary evidence of the heritage (no conjectures are

permissible in an ideal situation);

Logging of happenings / events of special significance in the historical / cultural context to

the extent possible;

Appraisal of the heritage significance, facilitation, guidelines and protection;

Execution of conservation works (no conjecture);

Documentation and Sustainability

2.5 GRADATION

This should be followed as below: -

Grade-I heritage of national / international importance; embodying excellence in

Architecture, Townscape, Technology & associated with historical events, personalities,

movements or institutions. They may also have iconic value as prime examples or

landmarks;

Grade-II similar as above but with heritage of regional / local importance;

Grade-III heritage that evokes interest (viz a viz mass scale & detail).

Beautification and conservation differ as follows:-

BEAUTIFICATION CONSERVATION

Conspicuous Inconspicuous

Quick Slow

Expensive Economical

Undesired Desired

Bureaucrat is Happy, Building is

Unhappy

Building is happy Bureaucrat is

Unhappy

2.6 TRAINING IN HERITAGE ON THE INDIAN RAILWAYS:

Training courses have been started in the Railway Staff College at Vadodra since December 2004

and received an enthusiastic response with participation of principal heads of department, senior

administrative grade officers, branch officers and concerned selected heritage officers.

7 | P a g e

Professionals and eminent persons in the fields of heritage, conservation, tourism and legislation;

are being invited for the training of selected Railway officers; with the objectives and topics as

below. They also give valuable insights during the lectures, based on a proactive interaction and

shared experience; leading to consciousness, sensitization, awareness and understanding.

As far as buildings are concerned, training for the following is recommended:-

An appreciation of what is Railway‟s Built Heritage;

Policy initiatives for conservation of railway structures including the social, cultural,

environmental, tourism, multidisciplinary and stakeholder considerations;

Our achievements - Mumbai CST as a World Heritage sites; Steps for identification of

structures as Heritage Sites; e Planning and Guidance in practical aspects of conservation;

Awareness creation, sensitization, documentation and dissemination of best practice;

Trainees to become valuable resource persons for India‟s Rail Heritage. ° Promoting

tourism to railways‟ heritage structures - adaptive reuse and viability; ° Development of

Legal framework for conservation of heritage buildings and structures;

National / International best practice.

2.7 SELECTED LAWS THAT ARE RELEVANT:

Eventually, re-consideration of the existing laws and changes to the Railway Act will be required

but in the meantime; the following are some of the laws that are relevant: -

The Railways Act, 1989

Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971, The Ancient

Monuments & Archaeological Sites & Remains Act, 1958, The Antiquities & Art

Treasures Act, 1972

Environment (Protection) Act, 1986;

Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974; Air (Prevention & Control of

Pollution) Act, 1981 ;

An IR Heritage Society / Fund may also be constituted on the lines of the National Culture Fund

to for specific interventions from outside the ambit of public finance. Also, the provisions for

engaging suitable persons / agencies on contract, for specialised aspects of conservation are

absolutely essential.

2.8 OTHER FUNDING FOR RAIL HERITAGE:

World Heritage or just heritage Status is a qualification, like a degree such as PhD, which can be

harnessed; just like a degree can get a job. This has to be done in the larger interest of Heritage,

Culture, Conservation, Sustainable Development, Community participation, Tourism,

Environment, Education, Training, Capacity Building etc (not just Railways in isolation). There

are numerous possibilities for significant funding in terms of these aspects; based on the specific

interest / guideline / policy of multi/bi-lateral agencies, Public / Private Bodies and government

ministries. For this purpose, apart from details in the prescribed Proformas, it may also be

necessary to consider and clarify the following:-

8 | P a g e

(i) Holistic perspective, Significance, Relevance;

(ii) Independent Management structure (incl. experts)

(iii)Co-financing and Accounting arrangements

(iv) Institutional Framework & Stake holding;

(v) Results/Logical Framework, Impact & Budgets.

Sustainable development of heritage & its surroundings can involve infer alia; the ministries of

Tourism, Culture (including Archaeological Survey of India), Environment & Forests, Human

Resource Development (including Education), Textiles (including Handicrafts}), Urban

Development & Poverty Alleviation, Commerce & Industry, Agriculture & Rural Development

and the Planning Commission. Clearances, however, may be required inter alia from External

Affairs; Department of Economic Affairs, Defence, Indian National Commission (UNESCO),

Home Affairs & Environment.

2.9 ASSOCIATION OF CONCERNED MULTI/BI-LATERAL PARTNERS:

British Council (hitp:/Avww.britishcouncil.org/india-scholarships-awarding-bodies-7him) and the

US Educational Foundation (USEFI http:/www.fulbright-india.org) are amongst many sources

that offer funding.

The guidelines of 2003, allow assistance from all G-8 countries & the European Commission.

Assistance can also be taken from other EU countries (if over $ 25 million/year), for technical

programmes (to enhance knowledge / skills), if it is routed through & implemented by a

multilateral agency or; if it is directly provided to autonomous bodies (institutions / universities /

NGOs etc).

Medium and large amounts of funding are possible in this manner through many agencies such as

the European Commission, Global Environment Facility (GEF), World Bank, Ford Foundation,

World Monuments Fund, Global Heritage fund, Getty Trust and numerous UN agencies.

Since its inception in 1972, UNESCO has provided funding for world heritage or potential World

Heritage. The World Heritage Fund consists of contributions by State Parties and other resources.

The Secretariat develops partnerships with public / private institutions.

States Parties are also encouraged to promote the establishment of national, public and private

foundations or associations for raising funds. Requests for international assistance for cultural

heritage are evaluated by ICOMOS and ICCROM. The overall annual value of this assistance is ~

US $ 2.5 million.

“PACT” or Partnerships for Conservation Initiative is UNESCO's solutions oriented approach to

conserving World Heritage in a sustainable manner. This involves a network of companies,

foundations, conservation / research institutions and media organizations; in order to raise

awareness and mobilise sustainable resources.

In addition, UNESCO has resources in cash and kind through numerous Inter Government

Organisations, Multi/Bi -Lateral agencies and Governments of many countries; including funds-

in-trust.

9 | P a g e

1.11 The desirable development works in the selected model stations and where significant

changes are being contemplated; should be undertaken after due consideration/ listing

/documentation of the heritage and with the involvements of experts (and with appropriate

executing agencies).

2.10 Implementing the proposal

There are two aspects to be addressed and taken care of for implementation of the proposals based

on the detailed report,

How to physically carry out the work as proposed?

Funds will come from where?

2.11 Execution of work:

First item above can be handled and taken care of by carefully contracting agencies for carrying

out the conservation work. At this stage when railways have very few engineers with knowledge

about conservation of heritage structures, it will be prudent to have a continued involvement of

experts in the field (from within as well as from outside the railways) even during the

implementation of the proposals. in some special cases, we may need to draw from international

expertise primarily from UK, as they are already interacting with a few conservation schemes for

heritage structures of colonial era in India. Training of railways staff/officials by giving them

hands on experience for working on heritage structure should be made an essential part of all the

conservation schemes.

2.12 Funding:

These conservation schemes may possibly costs railways much more than what is normally being

made available and spent through annual revenue budget. However, arrangement of funds is of

vital importance for efforts as conserving railways‟ heritage to have some tangible results.

Possible sources of funding are as below:-

i. Railway funds: the routine maintenance costs to be arranged from the revenue budget.

Work can be sanctioned as a special work under the head misc. works and/or special revenue

works/ passenger amenity works/ bridge works/ other specified works.

ii. Participation of private parties, local/State Governmental Agencies, non- Governmental

Agencies which may even include some international organizations. Various local bodies and

State Governments may come forward to fund these schemes within the context of the local town

planning. Some multinational firms mainly from United Kingdom may come forward for

participation in these conservation schemes in some specific cases.

iii The national culture fund, setup during 1997 by the Union Ministry of Human Resources

and Development can also be approached for funding. This fund has been created to invite,

promote and monitor corporate, institutional or individual sponsorship of different heritage

conservation projects.

iv. Railway Heritage Fund: A special fund can be created to finance the extra expenditure

towards the conservation of the heritage structures. Initially, the railways should contribute a

certain amount towards this fund. Subsequently, a certain fixed portion can be contributed from

10 | P a g e

each sanctioned work. This fund should also be open to private parties, individuals and other

agencies for making donations and/or contribution.

2.13 Other funding for Rail Heritage

World Heritage or just heritage Status is a qualification, like a degree such as Ph.D, which can be

harnessed; just like a degree can get a job. This has to be done in the larger interest of Heritage,

Culture, Conservation, Sustainable, Development, Community participation, Tourism,

Environment, Education, Training, Capacity Building etc (not just Railways in isolation). There

are numerous possibilities for significant funding in terms of these aspects; based on the specific

interest/guideline/policy of multi/bi-lateral agencies, Public/Private Bodies and governmental

ministries. For this purpose, apart from details in the prescribed Performa‟s it may also be

necessary to consider and clarify the following:

i. Holistic perspective, significance, relevance;

ii. Independent Management Structure (incl experts);

iii. Co-financing and Accounting arrangements;

iv. Institutional Frameworks & stake holding;

v. Result /Logical Framework, Impact & Budgets.

2.14 Archive of records and documents

For continuity of efforts and a well considered decision making availability of past records and

documents of highly important as it places all the facts together for deciding the future course of

action. A special place for keeping records with a records register need to be placed in such a way

that these are easily approachable and be referred to at any time.

2.15 Other Remarks

The above processes should be taken up for a beginning to be made. Further details can be

worked out gradually once this beginning is made. The system will evolve further on the basis of

result of the above works and a system of feedback and analysis with a view to improve the

methods and approach. Regular and systematic maintenance is the primary need for the railways‟

built heritage.

There is a need of making railway personnel aware of their built heritage. Once place could be

NAIR, Vadodara by inclusion of „Built Heritage of Railways‟ as a subject (for probationers during

phase I/II courses, for working officers at other stages). Moreover, we can get in touch with the

ASI (which conducts specialized courses on the conservation of buildings) and arrange some

courses or workshops for the railway officials.

There are many international documents available for conservation of places. However, the

International Charter adopted by the Australian ICOMOS (International Council of Monuments

and Sites) in 1979 and further revised in 1981 and 1988 is probably the best available document

which can be applied to the Railway‟ built heritage. It gives the detailed procedures for

determining the significance of a heritage structure, along with the development of conservation

policy and strategy for implementation of that policy including the procedures for undertaking

studies and reports. This charter can be a very useful guide for railways as well as consultant

11 | P a g e

contracted for the work starting from the preliminary assessment to a continued functional

maintenance system.

For example, selected Railway stations can be identified as culture heritage locations for co-

financing, rehabilitation, waste-management, development, sanitation, environment visitor

management, architectural restoration, sustainable training, best practice etc.

Sustainable development of heritage & its surroundings can involve inter alia; the ministries of

Tourism, Culture (including Archaeological Survey of India), Environment & Forests, Human

Resource Development (including Education), Textiles (including Handicrafts), Urban

Development and Poverty Alleviation, Commerce & Industry, Agriculture & Rural Development

and the Planning Commission. Clearances, however, may be required inter-alia from External

Affairs; Department of Economic Affairs, Defence, Indian National Commission (UNESCO),

Home Affairs & Environment.

10. Important decision regarding creation/development of new rail museums

The extract of Minutes of the meeting chaired by Hon’ble Prime Minister on 26.03.2018 to

Review important areas in Railways is as under:

“There is no need to invest in and develop more railway museums. Digital museums can be

created on the walls of the station depicting the history and current developments by use of

appropriate technology (incl QR Code).”

11. Railway Souvenirs Policy

(No. 2016/Heritage/Museum Program dated: 25.04.2018)

Souvenirs are important component of tourist experience. Visitors carry remembrance of their

visit in form of souvenirs. Indian Railways currently maintain 34 Rail Museums including National

Rail Museum (NRM) at New Delhi and four regional museums located at Chennai, Howrah, Nagpur

and Mysore. All these museums are tourist destinations in their respective cities and towns. A well

stacked rail souvenirs shop catering to all sections of visitors not only promotes rail tourism but also

enhances overall earnings of museum.

11.1. Railway Souvenir Policy aims at harnessing untapped potential of scaling up railway souvenir

sales by encompassing more entrepreneurs e.g. MSME, self-help groups etc., increasing the range

&varieties of souvenirs, enabling a process for professionally managed souvenir shops and finally

making the whole process cost neutral to Railways.

11.2 BROAD PRINCIPLES

a) Railways shall provide shelf space to approved souvenir suppliers instead of buying souvenirs

directly from them;

b) Railways shall explore possibilities to 'outsource' day to day management of souvenir shops! kiosks

to competent professional agency on 'revenue sharing basis';

c) Railways shall retain the process of design approval, sample checking and quality control of

souvenirs;

d) Railways shall create a pool of approved designs and sources for pan India distribution of railway

souvenirs. Any rail museum or souvenir kiosks can access the sources and design approved by other

Museum/Railways

e) Railways shall make effort to make rail souvenirs available both at 'brick & mortar' and 'online

shops';

f) Railways shall embed / engrave distinct logos ( e.g. NRM, DHR, NMR, GIPR etc.) to create

signature brands and to prevent sales through other channels;

g) Rail souvenir shops shall operate like a 'profit centre' with more varieties, wider access (on & off

line) and be professionally managed;

23 | P a g e

h) Pan India railway souvenir shops may be aggregated through IRCTC website for providing a wider

reach.

11.3 OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL OF RAILWAY SOUVENIRS AND

SELECTION OF SUPPLIERS

Following procedure shall be applicable for approval of railway souvenirs and selection of

suppliers.

a) Railways (e.g. Zones, Divisions, Production Units, National Rail Museum, Regional Rail Museums

etc.) shall float Expression of Interest (EOI), at an periodic interval and/or on need basis, seeking

willingness from entrepreneurs, MSME, self-help groups (SHG) etc. for design and supply of railway

souvenirs to railway museums & kiosks;

b) On receipt of EOI, Railways shall ask the willing agencies to submit the design and sample of the

souvenirs to designated Railways authority (e.g. Director/NRM, Curator/RRM, Director/DHR,

CPROetc.) for approval;

c) Specific approval will be given for every type, size and/or design of railway souvenir;

d) Pursuant to approval, Railways will enter into agreement with the agency (or supplier) for supply of

approved souvenirs; which will be initially valid for one year and can be extended up to three years in

total subject to satisfactory performance of the supplier.

e) The agency (or supplier) shall also give undertaking that these approved railway souvenirs will not

be sold anywhere other than at designated railway museums/kiosks.

f) Once, the design and sample is approved and the agreement is executed, the agency can supply the

souvenirs to any rail museum/kiosks.

g) Already approved supplier can also request for approval of additional souvenir designs and samples

during the agreement period.

h) List of the approved suppliers along with images of pre-approved souvenirs shall be displayed at

respective Railways' website for maintaining transparency and facilitating other Rail

Museums/Zones/Production Unit.

11.4 OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR MANAGEMENT OF RAILWAY SOUVENIR

SHOPS AND KIOSKS

Following procedure shall be adhered to for Management of Railway Souvenir Shops &

Kiosks:

a) Railways (e.g. Zones, Divisions, Production Units, National Rail Museum etc.) may decide

and make all round effort to „outsource‟ management of souvenir shops/ kiosks to competent

professional agency on „Revenue Sharing basis‟ that is „percentage of total sales or fixed license fee

whichever is higher‟ will be shared to Railways. The revenue accrued to Railways shall be considered

as „non-fare revenue‟ (NFR) and will be processed as per extant rules;

b) Railways shall seek „Request for Proposal (RFP)‟ based on established principles for selection

of agencies (or operator) to manage souvenir shop/kiosk;

24 | P a g e

c) The agency or operator will be responsible to coordinate with approved suppliers (Para-3

above) for obtaining Railways approved souvenirs, managing the shop on day to day basis,

maintaining sales record, marketing & publicity (online & offline), periodic cost reimbursement to

supplier on sales basis etc.

d) Detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) and other conditions will be decided by Railways.

e) The selling price of the souvenir shall be decided by the operator who manages the souvenir

shop or kiosk. The operator shall have freedom to revise the selling price, in consultation with the

supplier, as deemed suitable based on demand, seasonal variation etc.;

f) Quantum and types of souvenirs to be displayed and inventory to be kept at souvenir

shop/kiosks will be decided by the operator as per business conditions;

g) The operator shall maintain a separate account for daily sales which will be shared with

Railways on real time basis. The operator shall also deploy suitable facilities for digital and online

payment;

h) The operator shall also explore possibilities of selling the souvenirs online through web-based

market places and IRCTC website.

11.5 Based on local conditions, Railways can either opt for activity related to 'selection of sources

and approval of railway souvenirs (Para-3)' or 'management of souvenir Shops (Para-4)' or both.

Vendors of multifunctional kiosks located at Railway Stations may also obtain these approved

souvenirs on mutually agreed conditions. Railways may also process for 'trade marking' logos (e.g.

NRM, DHR, GIPR etc.) for creating distinguished branding of Railway Souvenirs.

12. Constitution of Zonal Level Heritage Committee and Nomination of Heritage Officers.

(No. 2018/Heritage/ZRHC Dated: 19.04.2018 & 23.04.2018)

13. Promotion of Hill Railways Tourism: Special Delegation of Powers to Divisional

Railway Managers (DRMs) (No. 2010/Heritage/MRI Dated: 25.04.2018)

Indian Railways are proud owners of five Hill Heritage Railways viz. Darjeeling Himalayan

Railway (DHR), Nilgiri Mountain Railway (NMR), Kalka Shimla Railway (KSR), Kangra Valley

Railway (KVR) and Matheran Light Railway (MLR). These hill Railways are also iconic tourist

destinations of India serving domestic and international tourists. For enhancing tourist potentials

of these five hill Railways, Board (CRB, FC & MT) has approved the following:

13.1 These hill Railways shall be treated as separate activity and profit centres of the concerned

Division.

13.2 These hill Railways should be encouraged to attract traffic which pays for its transportation.

13.3 Divisional Railway Managers (DRMs) controlling these five hill Railways (DHR, NMR,

KVR, KSR & MLR) are empowered to approve all regular and seasonal train services (e.g. Joy

Ride, Charters, and Holiday Specials, etc.) to meet tourist and local demand.

13.4 The timings, train composition, routes and tariffs (season and off season) of these regular and

seasonal hill train services shall also be approved by Divisional Railway Managers (DRMs) in

consultation with Directors of the hill Railways (wherever available) and Divisional Finance after

taking into consideration tourist demand, availability of coaches, locomotives, paths, etc.

13.5 Division may engage any suitable agency, including IRCTC, for designing, packaging,

marketing of the tourist package on these hill railways. Provision of any memorabilia/ souvenir,

en-route catering arrangements and taking tourists to sites away from station can also be done by

these agencies.

13.6 Local communities en-route of these hill Railways may be encouraged to participate in

promoting tourism by providing them a platform to showcase their art/ culture/ cuisine to the

tourists in or around the station premises and charging them appropriate access fee.
