In its commitment to ensuring the safety of passengers and improving standards across the railway network, the Indian government has implemented a series of measures and introduced advanced technologies. The Rashtriya Rail Sanraksha Kosh (RRSK) initiative was started in 2017, under which funds were allocated for the replacement, renewal, and upgrading of critical safety assets.
With a corpus of Rs. 1 lakh crore for five years, the RRSK has witnessed a gross expenditure of Rs. 1.08 lakh crore from 2017-18 to 2021-22. The government extended the currency of RRSK until 2027, with an additional Gross Budgetary Support of Rs. 45,000 crores for the same.
