Subject: - Revised Training Modules for Civil Engineering (Permanent Way) Supervisors
(SEs, J Es and Sr. PWSs)

The Task Force constituted under the Human Resource Reforms Committee
for reviewing the Training Modules for Civil Engineering Department has submitted its
reports in respect of Permanent Way Supervisors. The Board (ME & MS) have approved the
training modules contained in these reports. Accordingly, the recommendations of these
reports are being circulated herewith in two parts (Part A- Induction Training and Part B-
Promotional and Refresher Training).

2. For better management of training, the following decisions/inputs are also
communicated.

(a) Distinct Training Objectives have been identified for the Induction Training,
Promotional Training and Refresher Training, keeping in view the different
profiles of the trainees attending these training programmes.

(b) Specific strategies have been proposed for improving the efficacy of practical and
field training.

(c) A new concept of Experiential Learning by way of On the J ob Attachment of
two months has been introduced. During this period, the trainees will get the
experience of actual hands on working in the units where they are eventually to
be posted. Permanent Way Supervisors being a safety category, they will not take
independent safety, operational and financial decisions but will act under the
mentorship and guidance of the concerned In-charges.

(d) Management, supervision and evaluation of entire training including the
component of field training will vest with the Zonal Level training centre under
overall supervision of respective Zonal Training Manager of Civil Engineering
department viz. CE/G.

(e) Multiple strategies like specifying critical activities for mandatory coverage,
innovative training methodologies and improvements in model rooms and model
yards have been proposed and implementation of these should be ensured.

3. At a glance structure of Induction, Promotional and Refresher training programmes for the
Permanent Way Supervisor categories is as under: -

PART- A

REVISED TRAINING MODULES
(INDUCTION TRAINING)
FOR
PERMANENT WAY SUPERVISORS
(SE/P WAY, JE/ P WAY & SR. PWS)


SALIENT RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Training Objectives:
The following are the main objectives of Induction Training, in the case of Permanent Way
Supervisors:
(a) Imparting of knowledge about Track engineering and methods of its maintenance, as
this is an entirely new area for any fresher with degree or diploma qualification;
(b) Building Skill base of trainees as the subject matter is basically in the nature of an
Applied Science;
(c) Exposing them to critical operational and safety procedures and practices which they
would be expected to encounter routinely during the course of their duties;
(d) Focused capsules on specialized areas like Track Machines, Welding, General and
Subsidiary Rules and other safety and operational aspects;
(e) Familiarizing the trainees with organization, structure and working of Indian Railways;
(f) Imparting basic knowledge and skills in various areas of Management, viz.- Human
Resource Management, Railway Finance and Budgeting, Contract Management and
Materials Management etc.
2. Greater Emphasis should be on Learning of Practical Aspects:
(a) Knowledge of current and future track structure, safety and operational rules,
familiarization with essential modern tools, plants and machinery used in track
maintenance and first hand exposure to various track maintenance activities are the
targeted inputs in this training.
(b) Most of these are direct inputs in practical day to day working. Emphasis therefore
has to be obviously more on practical learning than on theoretical inputs.
(c) As such, besides classroom lectures for theoretical knowledge, visit to Model Rooms
and actual field for witnessing maintenance practices and major activities would be
critical ingredients for achieving the desired training objectives. Current over
dependence on classroom lectures would need to change to more emphasis on
improving Model Room and field exposure segments.
(d) For this, list of minimum exhibits to be commonly available in the model rooms and
model yards of all training centres has been prepared and is placed at Annexure-VI.
3. Field Training:
(a) The task force has, drawn a specific list of critical activities in which the trainees
should necessarily be trained during field training capsule.
(b) In case any of these critical activities is not taking place in a particular sub division/
division at the time of their field training schedule, then the trainees should be sent to
other nearby units where such activities may be in progress at that point of time.
(c) The list of these specified critical field activities is placed at Annexure-IV.
4. Visits to Specialized Institutes:
(a) Existing provision of visits to IRTMTC for track machines, TPP/LKO, TWTC/ BZA for
welding and to ZRTIs for learning of safety and operational aspects must be adhered
scrupulously as it is noted that in few railways, trainees are not being sent to ZRTI, for
Transportation capsule.
5. Modification in Training Structure: Introduction of Experiential Learning On the Job
Attachment:
(a) A new phase of Experiential Learning i.e. On the J ob Attachment will be imparted
towards the end of training.
(b) In this phase a trainee would be sent to the unit where he is eventually to be posted.
There he will be attached to the outgoing sectional in-charge. This would require
decision regarding posting in advance. In exceptional circumstances, the trainee can

be posted as PWI Special under overall in-charge supervisor.
(c) Task Force has identified few tasks/ activities which the trainee can handle during this
phase (list at Annexure-V).
(d) This phase of actual working and hands on exposure, albeit under supervision, called
On the J ob Attachment phase will be of 2 months

towards the end of training period.
After this the trainee will come back to the training centre for final presentation and
examination.
6. Management and Coordination of Induction Training:-
(a) Zonal level training centres should be made as the single nodal agency for managing
and coordinating the induction training in its entirety. This will result in manifold
improvements few of which are listed below:-
i. The big disconnect between what is taught in the training centre in 1
st
and 2
nd

phase of institutional training and what trainees actually get to see in field
training, in present scheme of things, would be taken care of to a great
extent. There will be a greater convergence in the institutional and field
training inputs.
ii. Training centres are exclusively devoted towards the responsibility of training
and over time acquire fair degree of professionalism and specialization in
various critical aspects of training and learning. They are better equipped to
handle the training of apprentices than randomly selected field officers who
are hard pressed by burden of daily exigencies and for whom training
remains an activity of secondary importance.
iii. Apprentices also, joining Railway organization for the first time, are more
attached to training centres and obviously rely on them for their various
needs and problems. Unauthorized absence, if any can also be handled.
iv. Control by training institute will ensure that in the changed scenario of
advanced and sophisticated track maintenance, all the trainees necessarily
receive essential inputs in specified critical activities and do not lose out on
any one or more of these. It can easily be managed by only two point
coordination between the training centre and the training nodal officer in the
headquarters, where information regarding location and timing of all major
activities is readily available.
v. This will also improve the level of uniformity in learning within same batch of
apprentices.
vi. Monitoring and assessment of learning imbibed during field training would
also improve greatly.
vii. Single point processing and coordination, though would require some
strengthening of training centre setup, would still, in ultimate analysis, save
on lot of duplicate and redundant efforts for same work for same batch of
apprentices in various units and would also save wastage of precious trainee
days significantly.
7. Up-dation of Course Content:
(a) The Task Force has gone deeply into detailed course content and has revised it
thoroughly.
(b) Many obsolete items have been struck off and whichever are required to be retained
have been assigned properly reduced weightage.
(c) Conversely many essential items, which are now an integral, part of modern track
structure and maintenance methods viz- USFD testing and mechanized maintenance
etc. have been duly incorporated and elaborated.
(d) Task Force has also added Surveying and Disaster Management as topics of
institutional training.
8. Restructuring of Course content:
(a) Narrative format of existing training modules has been restructured in the user
friendly format with proper classification into major areas, topics, sub topics etc. and
detailed lesson plans for the same have been drawn accordingly.
(b) Significant reshuffling of topics has been done between two phases of institutional
training. To name a few major ones- SWR, LWR, welding and mechanized
maintenance which are presently scheduled in 2
nd
phase of existing modules have
now been brought to 1
st
phase, as these are the major items to be encountered by
the trainees when they go out for field training and non exposure to such important
aspects of modern track maintenance even after spending sizable time in 1
st
phase of
institutional training is quite incongruous.
(c) Similarly within the each phase a number of topics have been reshuffled to ensure
proper grouping and logical sequencing for easier learning and better retention and
recall.
9. Training Methodology:-
(a) Present training is overly dependent on old patterned classroom lecture methodology.
It needs to be more interactive and audio visual in the form of group discussions,
case studies, presentation, films etc. There have been varying degrees of advances
in several training centres in this area. Few centres are using audio-visual aids,
overhead projectors and computer presentations to impart training. But there is a lot
of scope of further improvement and innovation in this area.
(b) Tremendous advancements in IT, convergence of device formats and reducing cost
of storing and sharing information in multiple forms of text, visuals, videos etc opens
up an exciting world of possibilities for transforming our instruction models. It is much
easier now to opt for highly effective multi-sensory teaching techniques which would
not be limited by the confines of classrooms or pre-fixed, inflexible time schedules.
Training centres would need to be equipped with broadband internet connections and
their websites could act as hub of sharing knowledge on demand.

10. Training Infrastructure:
(a) It is very important to equip the training centres with required infrastructure in terms of
adequate class rooms, properly equipped model rooms, modern teaching aids and
other required resources.
(b) With the proposed enlargement of training centres role and responsibilities, provision
of commensurate resources in terms of office assistance and communication facilities
including broadband internet connections etc. would be essential.
(c) Similarly hostels, messing and recreational facilities also need to be augmented to
ensure reasonable level of comfort to the trainees.
(d) Senior officers from zonal/ divisional headquarters should regularly inspect the
Training Centre. A schedule of annual inspection by PCE, for example, could be
introduced for this purpose. Such inspections should not only focus on physical
infrastructure, upkeep and maintenance, but should also assess the quality of training
being imparted and the learning actually being imbibed by the trainees.
11. Model for Academic Excellence and Continuous Improvement:
(a) Task Force proposes a Two Pronged 3 Tier strategy for academic excellence-
involving Indian Railway Institute of Civil Engineering (IRICEN), Zonal Training
Centres and Divisional Training Centres.
(b) While different zonal headquarters and divisions may continue to look after the zonal
and divisional training centres administratively and functionally, in academic matters
like standardization of training inputs, development of new capsules (special courses)
on introduction of new technologies, dissemination of valuable project work and case
studies, up-gradation of course content and teaching methodologies or any other
innovations IRICEN should be guiding zonal centres on programmed basis.
(c) A formal mechanism of Annual Seminar of Zonal training centre- Principals and
Faculty at IRICEN may be put in place for it. Zonal training centres in turn should play
similar guiding role for divisional training centres.
(d) Further the Principals should get more active support from the nodal zonal training
managers (Chief Engineer/ General) for scheduling field training, attachments and
expeditious evaluation etc.

REVISED TRAINING MODULES
(PROMOTIONAL & REFRESHER TRAINING)

FOR
PERMANENT WAY SUPERVISORS
(SE/P WAY, JE/ P WAY & SR. PWS)
SALIENT RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Training Objectives:
The following are the main objectives for Promotional and Refresher Training, in the case of
Permanent Way Supervisors:
(a) Assessing the participants level of knowledge;
(b) Brainstorming about common problems and issues faced by them in the field working;
(c) Re emphasizing priority areas, critical activities and safety instructions;
(d) Refreshing theoretical concepts behind day to day working practices;
(e) Focused capsules on specialized areas like Track Machines, Welding, General and
Subsidiary Rules and other safety and operational aspects;
(f) Updating participants regarding latest changes in technology, maintenance methods
and revised instructions (viz. correction slips in codes and manuals, PCE circulars etc.) if
any;
(g) Sharing of knowledge, experience, best practices, indigenous solutions and
innovations among participants;
(h) Special focus on inter departmental coordination;
(i) Imparting knowledge and skills in various areas of Management, viz.- Human
Resource Management, Railway Finance and Budgeting, Contract Management and
Materials Management etc.
2. Restructuring of Course content:
(a) Narrative format of existing training modules has been restructured in the user
friendly format of proper classification into major areas, topics, sub topics etc. and
detailed lesson plans for the same have been drawn accordingly.
(b) Topics have been reshuffled to ensure proper grouping and logical sequencing for
easier learning and better retention and recall. To name a few major ones- SWR,
LWR, welding and mechanized maintenance which are presently scheduled in quite
later stage of existing course contents have been moved up the sequence in the
proposed modules.
3. Greater Emphasis on Practical Aspects:
(a) Refreshing the knowledge of track structure, maintenance practices, safety and
operational rules, details of essential modern tools, plants and machinery used in
track maintenance and apprising latest changes in technology, working practices and
instructions are the targeted inputs in this training.
(b) Most of these are direct inputs in practical day to day working.
(c) Emphasis therefore has to be more on practical learning than on theoretical inputs.
(d) As such, besides classroom lectures for theoretical knowledge, group discussions,
brain storming sessions, visits to Model Rooms and actual field, as per requirement
would be critical ingredients for achieving the desired training objectives.
4. Emphasis on Inter departmental coordination and joint works:
(a) Recent advances in Signaling and Electrification, especially the gears around the
track, have increased the requirement of close interaction of P Way supervisors with
the supervisors of other departments involved in train operations. This has now
become an important area of their day to day working.
(b) Greater emphasize should be given to this area of joint works and Inter departmental
coordination at the level of first line supervisors of various departments in promotional
and refresher courses.
5. Apprising of Latest Instructions:

(a) Various instructions are issued in the form of correction slips in various Manuals and
PCE (Principal Chief Engineers) circulars. Many of these do not get connected at the
level of P Way supervisors working in the field.
(b) Promotional and Refresher courses should provide ideal opportunity of updating the
participants with the latest instructions and this should become an integral part of the
Promotion and refresher training.
6. Training Methodology:-
(a) Present training is overly dependent on old patterned classroom lecture methodology.
Instructors generally come to the classrooms with their pre prepared notes and start
dictating the same. This is not the appropriate method to address the trainees of
promotion and refresher courses. These courses have a much shorter duration as
compared to the induction courses and the participants are also not freshers but are
already having fair experience of field working.
(b) The teaching methodology need to be not so much instructor driven as driven by the
specific needs of such experienced trainees.
(c) Sessions need to be more interactive with lot of brainstorming and group discussions.
(d) Courses should begin with a Diagnostic Session wherein participants should be
encouraged to share their field experiences and identify main technical/ managerial
issues encountered frequently. This should define the focus of the training.
(e) Lectures should be supplemented with actual case studies, group discussions and
role plays etc.
(f) Small projects should be made on common problems faced in the field and the
groups of trainees should be encouraged to come- up with the suggestions to solve
them.
(g) These courses should also provide platform for sharing experiences, indigenous
solutions and innovations.
(h) Audio visual methods should be used extensively. Many films and animations have
been developed by IRICEN and other institutions.
(i) Instruction manuals provided by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are also
important and handy source of critical knowledge in respect of sophisticated
equipments deployed in the field. These should be stocked in the training centre and
can even be handed over to the participants in CDs or pen drives.
(j) The training institutes themselves can involve trainee batches in taking photographs
of important structures, tools and plants, modern machinery and making short video
films of critical field activities.
(k) It is necessary to opt for highly effective multi-sensory teaching techniques which
would not be limited by the confines of classrooms or pre-fixed inflexible time
schedules.
