Railways to consider jobs to children in lieu of VRS

New Delhi, Jul 13        

   Making  the safety-related voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) more  lucrative, Railways today said it is considering a move to  provide employment to the ward of an employee availing the  scheme as well as relaxing the age limit under it.

   At present, the scheme is  available to only gangmen in group D and drivers in group C  attaining the age of 55 to 57 years. Under the new proposal, the  scheme will be extended to all safety category staff like  pointsmen, khalasi and others. The age limit will be reduced to  50 years and a ward of the staff will get employment on availing  the scheme.

   “We are considering the move to  provide employment to the ward of a railway employee availing  the scheme,” Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee said attending a  function organised by Indian Railwaymen’s Federation.
