Recently introduced differential prining in Railway is a source of revenue generation for the government. But a better option could have been a uniform rise in ticket price of all/ selected trains rather than differential pricing. This leads to few people booking rail tickets in hurry (to avoid paying higher price) and other people struggling to get a ticket when in need. 

More better ways can be introduced to generate revenue to the organization. Already with the abolition of separate rail budget it will gain around 14000 crores. 

We talk of CSR in corporates. Already socially responsible organizations should not ignore its responsibility.
