Formation of SCREA

Dear Rail Engineers !

With the encouragement given by you all, the inaugural meeting of “South Central Railway Engineers Association (SCREA)” was conducted on 30th November 2009 in the lawns of Rail Nilayam from 13.30 hrs, to 14.30 hrs, with its main motto to uplift all Rail engineers. About 85 engineers from Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Signal & Telecommunication Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Construction Organization have attended the meet and made it a grand launch.

Dear Engineers! Let us put a question ourselves. ‘Is it necessary to form an association for Rail Engineers separately?’ Yes. It is a high time. All of you are aware how the cadre of Rail Engineers is down trodden for decades. When takes a glance, no railway engineer is less than any business manager with an MBA. Every railway engineer is undertaking several managerial tasks in his daily duties. He is a material manager, manpower manager, and an interface manager apart from good event planner and executor for safe run of trains. In other professions, employee will undertake one job at a time. But, a Rail Engineer will handle multidisciplinary tasks at the same time under intense stress and successfully completes the mission without appreciation.

In the past 3 Central Pay Commissions, cadre of Rail Engineers was totally ignored at all stages while non-technical and non-safety cadres with limited hours of duty under stress free conditions was given due consideration. The only reason is, there was no strong association to represent our Rail Engineers. As our elders say, “unless you ask, even your mother do not feed”. In the same fashion, as Rail Engineers are not demanding, none are bothered. Even at this juncture, if we do not wake up, we will be simply drilled to core and expunge us for all considerations.

These said conditions forced for formation of “South Central Railway Engineers Association” under the able guidance of All India Railway Engineers Federation which is fighting for Rail Engineers with other 12 Zonal Railway Associations as members of the Federation.

A temporary body was elected on 30-11-2009 with the following fellow Engineers as its members to progress ahead with our further activities.

Er. M.Prabhu Charan(SSE/C&W)----- Working President
Er. K.L.V.S.Viswanadham (SE/P.Way)----- General Secretary
Er. Radhakrishna (SSE/Sig)----- Joint General Secretary
Er. K.Chandrasekhara Rao (SSE/Elec)----- Addl.Organizing Secretary
Er. K.Nageswara Rao (SE/Works)----- Treasurer

Second meeting will be planned soon to elect remaining office bearers and to chalk an action plan for the activities to be taken up by the association apart from nomination of Division charters of the association.

Basic aims and objects of the association:

1. Improvement of career prospects by projecting factual working conditions and the constraints compared to other categories of the Railways before competent forum to attain justification.

2. Fight for proper social status on par with other engineers of Central Government and Public Sector Units.

3. Safeguard the rights and privileges of all Rail Engineers.

4. Career guidance by utilizing advanced technological methods.

5. Extension of moral support to rail engineers during times of distress.

Let all Rail Engineers take an oath that, “all of us will be united to safeguard our cadre and fight for a good cause for betterment of our status”.

LONG LIVE SOUTH CENTRAL RAILWAY ENGINEERS ASSOCIATION
ZINDABAD ALL INDIA RAILWAY ENGINEERS FEDERATION
