RRB Prayagraj
Railway Service Commission, Allahabad, was set up in 1953. In 1985, it was renamed as Railway Recruitment Board, Allahabad. In 2018, Allahabad city was renamed as Prayagraj, since then it is functioning in the name of Railway Recruitment Board (RRB), Prayagraj. This Board caters to the recruitment needs of all the divisions (Prayagraj, Jhansi, and Agra), workshops and the headquarters office of Northern Central Railway, Lucknow and Moradabad divisions of Northern Railway and Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW), Varanasi.
The Railway Service Commission, Prayagraj was originally housed in a large rented accommodation on Sardar Patel Marg, which was a well-known landmark of Civil Lines, Prayagraj. In January, 1985 Railway Service Commissions were renamed as Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs). In 1990 the RRB had to give up the campus on Sardar Patel Marg, and move to DRM Office Annexes. In 1998 all RRBs came under the control of the Railway Recruitment Control Board (RRCB) which was set up in the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board) to coordinate and streamline the working of RRBs.
