After seeing the Konkan Railway bridge here in Goa and realizing that I'd be using it quite frequently now :-D I decided to read up on the man behind the legend -- E. Sreedharan. He completed the Konkan Railway project before schedule and is now working as the Managing Director of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). The DMRC is also before schedule. Completing a government funded large-scale civil engineering project
before schedule is nothing short of a miracle! And these are not
any civil engineering projects we're talking about. It's the Konkan Railways and the Delhi Metro Rail. The first time in India such contructions have ever been attempted!
Read about him at the following links. Inspiring!
