The new IRAS Logo assimilates the past, present and future to demonstrate the future ready IRAS which upholds the principles of “Propriety, Proficiency and Productivity”.
The logo has been carefully designed to demonstrate the nature of the service and contemporary times.
Adorned with the National Emblem, the logo symbolizes service to the Government of India. The Railway bogie resting on the track symbolizes that IRAS is dedicated to serving the Indian Railways, the three wheels represents evolution and motion, and upholding the motto of “Propriety, Proficiency and Productivity”. The book and the computer monitor symbolizes that IRAS is the fusion of both old and new methods of analysis, its ability to continuously evolve and embrace innovations, bridging the traditional methods of accounting and book-keeping with latest technology such as data analysis, AI etc. to propel IR to an upward growth trajectory.
Finally the 25 pairs of leaves on the logo represents the 17 Zonal Railways and 8 Production units which comprise India Railways. They also symbolizes wisdom, prosperity, motion and continuity.
The logo is a demonstration of the “FUTURE READY IRAS”.

IRAS DAY 2014-JAIPUR CHAPTER
IRAS DAY 2014-JAIPUR CHAPTER
IRAS day was celebrated on North Western Railway precincts on 29/11/2014. This meeting was attended by over 27 serving IRAS officers apart from 4 retired IRAS officers in Jaipur as special invitees. Amongst these retired officers Shri K.M. Meena and Shri P.R. Rathi who retired in SAG were present. The in-house interactive session held a free and frank discussion on “Railway Reforms – The role of IRASâ€. Views of all the participants right from Junior Scale to HAG were shared based on their perceptions about the service vis-à -vis their experience.
The general consensus was that with the changing social & economic scenario of country, reforms are required to align Indian Railway with current needs of development and IRAS is competent enough to model itself accordingly to ensure that Railways financial structure is modernized and staff productivity is improved. IRAS will also be required to play a key role in arrangement of funds for the expansion of Railways. All the participants emphasized on the need for sharpening the knowledge and skills of the service officers for more integrated contribution towards fulfilment of organizational goals.
The Railway Minister’s reiteration of giving wide powers to the General Manager along with more pinpointed accountability and checks & balances brings the Accounts Department and IRAS in a very pivotal position. FA&CAO/NWR highlighted the need for IRAS to own up the IT applications and take the lead on the Indian Railways in integrating all other stand alone IT applications with IPAS for one composite integrated Management Information System. He also emphasized the key role of the Accounts Department as the custodian of financial propriety on the Railways and its role in providing inputs for institutional checks and balances in tune with greater autonomy to General Managers. In times to come there would be more and more emphasis on the commercial and financial performance of the Indian Railways and IRAS has to be in tandem with the economic changes where the organisational bottom line becomes the benchmark for assessing the performance for providing impetus to growth.
