           Com Preethi Singh, Member, ITF Global Youth Committee and Chair, ITF Asia Pacific region suggested that Well-Being programme be made a part of Trade Union Education (TUED) Programme to impart awareness/importance of Mental well-Being in the worker community on Indian Railways.

        Com Shiva Gopal Mishra appreciated the efforts of all the Zonal Coordinators and First Responders and said that everyone in Team AIRF has put the Best Efforts. The project is almost coming to a close and that the Railway Board has also appreciated the efforts of AIRF in successfully running the project and bringing awareness among the staff and their families. GS/AIRF further stated that Railway Board has agreed to take over the project by allocating funds for the Well-Being programme on a regular basis for the benefit of 1.2 million workers on Indian Railways, 4.8 million family members and the retired workers.

        GS/AIRF opined that inclusion of Mental Well-Being in the trade union education (TUED) programme would lead to bringing awareness and importance of mental well-being among the workers and the First Responders must be trained separately so that they can assist the Indian Railway Administration in mapping in future. 

        Com Mishra stated that the final calendar for next six months be given by Com Divya Sharma and the next meeting be planned in mid of March 2024 before finally handing over the project to Railway Board on 30 June 2024.
