History |
The Beginning
First time in July 1942, as an experimental measure, a Service Commission with a Chairman
and two members was established for recruitment of Subordinate Staff on the then North West Railway.
The position was reviewed in 1945 and Services Commissions at Bombay, Calcutta, Madras and Lucknow
were set up under Railway Board. These Commissions were introduced with two fold functions of recruiting
class III staff and also tender advice to General Managers for dealing with appeals from subordinate staff
on disciplinary matters.
Later Developments
In 1948, the Indian Railway Enquiry Committee reviewed working of commissions. While recommending
their permanency, suggested that the work related to appeals should be withdrawn so that commission can
give undivided attention to recruitments. Chairman Bombay/Service Commission was given the supervisory
role to Supervise Commissions at Calcutta, Lucknow and Madras.
In 1949, due to financial constraints a ban was imposed on recruitments on Indian Railways thus
numbers of commissions was reduced to one centrally located at Bombay.
In 1953-54 when Economic conditions of Indian Railway improved, four service commission were
again set up at Bombay, Madras, Allahabad and Calcutta. In 1956, the Estimates committee generally
approved the method of recruitment by the constitution of the Railway Service Commissions.
In 1973 to cater the needs of the Northern Eastern Railway and to facilitate recruitment from
the under developed areas of that region an additional commission was set up at Muzaffarpur. In the
same year a branch office of Calcutta Service Commission was opened at Ranchi. In 1978 one more additional
Service Commission was set up at Secunderabad to cater for the needs of newly formed South Central Railway.
Recruitment of staff for the needs of NF Railway was still being done through recruitment committee control
by NF Railway . Thus in 1978 this job was entrusted to full fledged service commission with Head Quarters
at Guwahati. Yet another service commission was opened in 1980 at Bangalore to cater for the needs of candidates
from remote backward areas of Karnataka. In 1981 fulfledge service commission was opened at Danapur.
Seven more commissions were set up in 1983 at Ahmedabad, Ajmer, Bhopal, Bhuvneshwar, Chandigarh,
Jammu and Srinagar with sitting at Leh and Trivendrum. In 1984 two more service commissions were set up
at Malda and Gorakhpur and a fulfledge commission at Ranchi was set up to cater for exclusive needs of
Scheduled tribes of the area.
Renaming of Railway Service Commission as Railway Recruitment Board
In January 1985 Railway Service Commissions have been renamed
as Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs). In the year 1998, all RRBs came
under the control of the Railway Recruitment Control Board (RRCB), which
was set up in the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board) to coordinate and
streamline the working of RRBs. Thus at present 20 Railway Recruitment Boards
are functioning.
