The first university exclusively dedicated to courses specialising in railways like BBA Transportation Management and B.Sc Transportation Technology will not only prove to be a hotbed for employment opportunities but it will also create new jobs in the railway sector. This would lead to development and will serve as a major push for the ‘Make In India’ policy of the Railways Ministry. Job creation is also anticipated to get rid of the current economic slump.
