Indian Railways is offering employment opportunities to Divyangjan for operating Automatic Ticket Vending Machines (ATVM). This initiative aims to make specially-abled persons self-reliant while reducing long queues for passengers at railway stations. The North Central Railway’s Prayagraj division has invited applications for these roles.

What are the application details and deadlines?
The last date to submit applications for the ATVM facilitator role is May 4, 2026. The Prayagraj division has planned to appoint facilitators across 29 stations. While some appointments have already been made at seven stations including Jhansi, fresh applications are being accepted. Many forms have recently been submitted from Hathras.
Who can apply and what are the benefits?
The roles are primarily for Divyangjan with locomotor disabilities, though retired railway employees and the general public can also apply. The administration views this as a step toward social inclusion. According to officials, operators will receive a 3 percent commission on tickets issued for distances up to 150 kilometers.
