The Statisticaland Traffic CostingWings onZonal Railwaysplay very crucial role at top management's level not only to overseesuccessfulimplementationof policies but also assistin providingvaluablein-puts for shapingfuture policies.Over the periods,it has beennoticedthat the Statisticaland Traffic CostingWings are not given due preferencewhich they deserveeven though the data collected and compiled by these wings is useful for taking decisionsat the highestlevel. No social or economicpolicy can be derived and implementedwithout the data collectedand compiledperfectlyby the StatisticalDepartment.

These staff are supportedby Office Superintendant and StatisticalInspector(GP 42001-,PB-2), Sr. Clerk(cP 2800/-,PB-l) andJr. Clerk(GP 1900/-,PB-l). The strengthof the support staff is grossly inadequatein all the Zonesas majority o f posts have.beensu.rrendered without caring the important assignmentsexpectedto be handledby the Statisticaland Traffic CostingWings of the Zonal Railways. o To managethe Statisticaland Traffic Costingjobs efficiently,freshrecruitmentshouldbe madefrom Open Market wherethe candidatespossessing professionalqualificationand proficiencyin the costaccountingcanbe inducted. The man power in the Statistical and Traffic Costing Wings needs to be strengthenedsuitably both in the Head Quarters and Divisions to ensure quality output. o The Statistical& Compilation rying is normally mannedby TWO Gazettedofficers (One Senior'Scaleand One iunior Scalelin gazetted-set up.
