The Speech was concluded by quoting Pt. Jawahar Lal Nahru  “A great national and state-owned organization, like the Railways, is not only an asset of importance but is also a great responsibility. It can only be run with the fullest cooperation of all those engaged in it, keeping in view always the good of the public as well as the good of those engaged in serving the public through this vast organization.”
