Golden Jubilee Amidst Amalgamation Process
This celebration comes at a pivotal time when the government’s “one state, one RRB” amalgamation process is gaining momentum. Under this policy, multiple RRBs within a state may be consolidated into a single entity. States like Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Assam and Jharkhand have already conducted similar golden jubilee events in this context, while several others are planning their programs
