Are Private Players Doing Tatkal Booking?

Indian Railways (IR) is a governmental entity under the Ministry of Railways that operates India's national railway system. It is run by the government as a government entity and manages the fourth-largest railway network in the world by size, with a route length of 67,956 km (42,226 mi) as of 31 March 2020. 39,866 km (24,772 mi) or 58.66% of all the routes are electrified with 25 kV 50 Hz AC electric traction as of August 2020.
In the fiscal year ending March 2020, IR carried 808.6 crore (8.086 billion) passengers and transported 121.22 crore (1.2122 billion) tonnes of freight. IR runs 13,169 passenger trains daily, on both long-distance and suburban routes, covering 7,325 stations across India. Mail or Express trains, the most common types, run at an average speed of 50.6 km/h (31.4 mph). Suburban EMUs run at an average speed of 37.5 km/h (23.3 mph). Ordinary Passenger Trains (incl. mixed) run at an average speed of 33.5 km/h (20.8 mph). The maximum speed of passenger trains varies, with the Vande Bharat Express running at a peak speed of 180 km/h (110 mph).
In the freight segment, IR runs 8,479 trains daily. The average speed of freight trains is around 24 km/h (15 mph). The maximum speed of freight trains varies from 60 to 75 km/h (37 to 47 mph) depending on their axle load with 'container special' trains running at a peak speed of 100 km/h (62 mph).
As of March 2020, Indian Railways' rolling stock consisted of 2,93,077 freight wagons, 76,608 passenger coaches and 12,729 locomotives. IR owns locomotive and coach-production facilities at several locations in India. IR had 1.254 million employees as of March 2020, making it the world's eighth-largest employer.
The government has committed to electrifying India's entire rail network by 2023–24, and become a "net-zero (carbon emissions) railway" by 2030.
Indian Railways is opening up to private operators for the first time since it was nationalised in 1951. Starting from March 2024, private companies will be allowed to run passenger services on one of the world’s largest networks, which handles some 8.4 billion people every year.
The plan was announced earlier summer 2020 by the current owner and operator, the Indian Ministry of Railways. Initially slated to start in March and then postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the scheme is expected to play a key role in the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative and its goal is to attract investment in the country. 
The government has identified 109 busy routes across India to run 151 private trains for 35 years. These are routes with huge waiting lists and offer a potential to earn. The 151 trains represent only around 5 percent of total trains run in India.
For the project, the routes are divided into 12 clusters based out of major city centres, such as Patna, Secunderabad, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Prayagraj, Howrah, Chennai, Chandigarh, and two each for Delhi and Mumbai.
Each cluster is an independent business project, inviting a private player to manage. It also has an indicative project cost and average train distance of 900-1052km. The contract period of 35 years is based on the fact that trains and engines are usually in service for around three decades.
Task in hand:
You are the Private Operator who has entered into a contract with the Indian Railways. The contract states that you are going to manage the Secundrabad Cluster Project and the estimated indicative cost is Rs.2200 Crores. You are responsible for the following:
A new organizational chart for the Secunderabad cluster.
A new classification process of the employees into detailed groups.
Come up with unconventional selection strategies.
An extensive Training and Development Programme for all  groups.
Come up with an Employee Induction Programme for the  new recruits.
Come up with a Grievance Redressal System for the employees.
Create a Performance Appraisal System.
Create a Code of Conduct for the shop-floor level employees.
Create an estimated HR Budget for next 3 years.
 A promotional video to advertise the project.
Deliverables:
  A report not exceeding 30 pages.
 A PowerPoint Presentation not exceeding 15 slides.
PS: Have a good night! 😊
Submission Details:
Deadline: 7 AM, 9th April, 2021
