C-TARA (Centralised Training Academy for Railway Accounts) • The training institute at Secunderabad has been in existence since the last 3 years • The Institute is at present being utilised only for holding weekly courses for Group B & C personnel • The institute needs to be equipped with manpower and proper training programmes so as to enable it to train IRAS officers • The institute needs to be developed as a centre of excellence in Finance Management on the lines of similar institutions set up by sister departments

  17. CONCLUSION • The IRAS may be an 80 year old service but it is not aged • There are many areas where work needs to be done • There is no room for despondency • All of us need to work together to take the service to greater heights • IRAS promises a bright future
