Railways had already announced tie-up with Health Ministry and HRD Ministry for setting up medical facilities and Kendriya Vidyalays on rail land.
The budget is also expected to lay emphasis on the dedicated freight corridor as the Vision Document has underlined operationalisation of the corridor before 2020.
The document also mentioned optimum utilisation of railway land bank and setting up multi-modal logistic parks and industrial hubs along the corridor.
Interacting with captains of Indian industry earlier this month, the Railway Minister has laid stress on private participation in expansion of rail network.
The revenue sharing model for private participation in laying new rail tracks is likely to find mention in the budget.
Keeping the wagon shortage in mind, the budget might also contain measures to tackle the problem through a new wagon procurement policy.
