SAM CLUB DAY ‘16
MSM '73: It is very important to strike a perfect balance and it is certainly not a healthy prac ce to neglect
academics to pursue other ac vi es. Time is changing and people outside Gymkhana view the SCRA
scheme in a different light. They have high expecta ons from SCAs and envy that the Indian Railway spends
heavily on their studies and grooming. Therefore, SCAs should make use of the excellent resources
available to them and use their me judiciously. They should excel in academics and sports, and should
focus on personality development.
PA '2k11: Sir, in many people's opinion, the SCRA scheme is no longer worth con nuing, and we need to
broaden the pool. What is your say on it?
MSM '73: The type of training that SCAs go through differen ates them from students of a regular
engineering college. Besides focusing on their studies, rigorous workshop training and personality
development are given importance here. This makes them a class by themselves. If this aim of the
training is met, there is no harm in con nuing the SCRA scheme. Otherwise, fooling the administra on
is like fooling yourself.
PKS'2k13: Sir, do you think that all cadres or services of the Indian Railways should have a scheme like
SCRA?
