IZZAT schem ……… that the buzz word in MAMTA’S railway budget.Railway monthly pass would be given for rs 25 to travel within 100 km for the unorganised sector personals.Really good move. but one question arrised in my mind. is it feasible ?????because the eligibilty criteria for this schem is that you should not have a monthly income , more than 1500 Rs……

So i jst asked some few unorganised sector persons who travel daily in the train.

 I asked a Hawker about his daily earning…..replay- aproxmately  200 to 400 rs per day.

tea & coffee vendors : - 200 to 500 per day.

fruit sellers:- 100 to 300 per day (minimum)

others- 100 to 200 rs minimum……

That menas nobody qualify for this scheme.I wa sreally surprised,why this ambiuity ??????

Suddenly one beggar came & asked for some alms…..immidiately it struk me.I asked the poor looking begger.what is your minimum earning per day ?

he was bit confused.To clear his doubt , i told him about the IZZAT scheme of railways minister.

He had a hearty laugh & said  ” sir i am actually an INCOME TAX ACCESSE & PAYS IT ANNUALLY. I donot hide my income.Who care this IZZAT SCHEME ?WHY TO TRAVEL IN 25 RS PASS!!!!! ALL ALONG I AM TRAVELING IN ALLL TRAINS FREE……………

I was spell bound……

Mamta are u listning?????please have some scheme for people like us….FOR OUR IZZAT..please…
