TRAINING AT RAILWAY STAFF COLLEGE BARODA 21st Session 09.05.55 to 02.07.55
During this period, I had an opportunity to tour, almost all over the country from North to South & East to West, for training, in different specialized areas on railways and Civil Engineering.  With Virendra Kumar my colleague for training at Forest Research Institute at Dehradun - 1956
The two year training period was most enjoyable as we had no responsibility of the post with full pay. This period, broadened our vision, visited major parts of the country and got confidence in becoming a capable and responsible officer and citizen, for performing our duties on the Indian Railways.
From 10th Feb 1957 to 24th Jan 1960 I worked on the Western Railway as Assistant Engineer in charge of Bhavnagar Tarapur New Railway Line survey 107km followed by Assistant Engineer HQ at Balsar , In charge of the jurisdiction from Virar to Surat.

During this period we realized, that at very young age a large responsibility, is thrust upon you for track and bridges maintenance for safety of the passengers, specially during Monsoon period  and further learned to work in a team with all colleagues of different departments of the Railway systems.  On promotion in Late 1958 as Divisional Engineer of the Baroda division and later in Jaipur div. with HQ at Jaipur of the Div. extending from Ajmer to Rewari.

This posting was a blessing in disguise, as we learned a lot on this project during a  short period of 3 years and got tremendous confidence in engineering and construction management and worked under the guidance of Senior Outstanding IRSE officers like Mr. B.C. Ganguli, P.K. Ganguli, Mr. T.V. Joseph, Mr. M. Menezes, Mr. V.C. Paranjpe and Mr. Rammurthy. All these officers treated us as younger brothers and trained and shaped us in becoming good engineers & leaders.
