Talking about the Indian Railways, one of the biggest organizations in the world, we can see that the effective use of technology could enhance its contribution to the development of nation. The reservation of railway tickets in India is done through by either of the two alternatives. The first one is that the individual himself goes to the counter opened by the Indian Railways and book the advance ticket i.e. reservation of ticket.

In this process the ticket is booked online. Besides allowing online booking of rail ticket (s), it offers everything from railway map to railway ticket fare to timetable of train (s). A complete railway enquiry system is in place, with a click of the mouse allowing one to access / check the Indian Railways timetable, railway ticket availability and booking for any sector besides complete online train ticket reservations. Visitors to the website can use it not only for railway ticket reservation / booking but also to find out ticket availability and ticket confirmation or PNR status for any ticket on any train within the Indian Railways network.

To book a General ticket, one has to go to the railway station or book from the authorized agents. But this process becomes quite time consuming and people don’t like to stand in queues because in every important junctions and platforms due to arrival of trains there is lots of crowds. Due to this reason, people are afraid of losing the train. So some people travel without ticket. Now this becomes a serious issue for the government as the revenues from the tickets will not come. So this problem needs to be solved. The problem can be solved effectively with the use of Information Technology.
