Railway Recruitment Control Board

In July 1942, a Service Commission with a chairman and two members was established to recruit subordinate staff on the North Western Railway. In 1945, additional Service Commissions were set up in Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, and Lucknow, tasked with recruiting Class III staff and advising General Managers on appeals related to disciplinary matters. In 1948, the Indian Railway Enquiry Committee recommended making these commissions permanent while withdrawing their role in appeals to focus solely on recruitment. The chairman of Bombay Service Commission was designated to supervise others. However, financial constraints in 1949 led to the consolidation of all commissions into a single entity in Bombay. In January 1985, the Service Commissions were renamed Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs). By 1998, all RRBs were brought under the newly formed Railway Recruitment Control Board (RRCB) under the Ministry of Railways. ==Objectives==
