Safety, Cleanliness are till an issue with Indian railways..
The priority should be to increase safety and needs to focus and spend money on making every travel safe. At least railways should start some pilot projects to achieve these.
indian railways is a social organisation providing affordable travel for majority of Indians. with this is mind, Railways should explore alternative revenue generations and efficiency improvement opportunities etc.. rather than resorting to increase of fare every year..
Even Bio-diesel for locomotives, solar energy for stations etc can reduce cost / expenses..
in general, still a long way to go..
