Women Leading the Way Railways

e

BILASPUR / In a significant stride towards gender inclusivity and leadership, women are redefining the landscape of Indian Railways across various critical roles. The South Eastern Central Railway stands as a beacon with 3655 women actively contributing to operations across departments including Operations, safety, Guard- driver, engineering, and station management with public interface.

At the helm of this transformative effort is Neenu Itiyera, an IRTS officer from the 1988 batch, leading by example. Under her guidance SECR is going towards news hights.

Smt Pratibha Bansod has made history as the first DEMU pilot of the Raipur Division, navigating trains into remote, naxal-affected areas of southern Chhattisgarh.She drove the Passneger train to Gudum station of Bastar .

Further exemplifying this shift, Itwari Station in Nagpur Division is exclusively managed by women, with Smt. Ashlesha Patil spearheading the Passenger Reservation System (PRS). Similarly, Gondia Station is efficiently overseen by Simi Arora for passenger services, while Smt. Jyoti Gothmage heads operations at Nainpur Station of Kanha Region .

In security roles, women like Sunita Minj are leading by securing the Ambikapur RPF post, showcasing their prowess in traditionally male-dominated domains.

This diversification extends to essential facilities such as restrooms and running rooms, once exclusively male spaces, now reflecting a more inclusive railway ecosystem.

These initiatives underscore Indian Railways’ commitment to becoming more customer-centric and inclusive, leveraging the diverse talents and leadership of women across its operational spectrum.
