You are welcome Prasad Ji,

While I was searching for an informative posting of our revered senior Veteran Brahmanyan Ji's on Dr. Sreedharan, I stumbled upon this one which is also more relevant.


A legend hangs up his boots On the last Month . Finally, Elattuvalapil Sreedharan has been allowed to retire, at the age of 79. A man who built the Calcutta Metro, Konkan Railway and the Delhi Metro. But he is best remembered for re-building in just 46 days the Pamban bridge which in 1963 was blown away by a cyclone into the sea. Here is a man who is honest to core, brooked no nonsense and set an example for others. A true leader who walked his talk. He truly deserves the Bharat Ratna. Now he is Coming to Kerala to Fulfill the dreams of Malayalis "The Kochin Metro "

India has much gratitude for this great engineer. He is Elattuvalapil
Sreedharanknown as the The "metro man of India". He is quite a sensational project manager, who almost always gets the project complete on time or before schedule, he fought all the delays caused by bureaucratic red tape, corruption and lack of funds.

Sreedharan
's willpower has moved mountains. He is not just a dreamer but also a builder, but most of all one who has dedicated his achievements to every Indian. He stands out as a legend in the Indian Engineering history. His major projects being the Delhi Metro and the Konkan Railways.

This 75+ year-old Managing Director of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation only desires the progress of his country. He wanted Delhi to have a world-class metro rail project to change the meaning of urban transport in India.
And he did it.

The Konkan Railway project came to him in his retirement. It was a challenging task----760 km of rail tracks from Mumbai to Kochi through the rugged hills of the Western Ghats. As usual the Environmentalists protested, politicians said it shall not be done
and the project ran short of money. But Sreedharan raised public bonds to finance it, taking everyone ahead.

Kiran Bedi explains why
Sreedharan is worthy of the title: "He is not in his 40s or 50s, but he is in his 70s, a time when we normally retire. Sreedharan has given the best metro concept for the railway of the country with integrity, vision, with commitment and with remarkable professional skills. There is no other person better than him in this category."

Sreedharan
insists he does not have any special skills to get the best out of people. "I always found that people cooperate if you work for a good cause," he says.
India says thank you sir.
What a joy it is to take a ride in the Delhi Metro!

You are right Sir,

I was looking for a posting of yours relating to Mr. Shreedaran’s completing the task of repairing the damaged Pamban Bridge within the stipulated time and was awarded money reward by the Railways in recognition of his distinguished/meritorious service….

But in Google search I got this….

I think he fits the post of Railway Minister more than anyone else.... but unfortunately he is not a politicians and hence was denied the opportunity....

That was a curse of Indian politics....

7 Facts About Metro Man E Sreedharan, The Man We Want As Railways Minister
5. Believes in Performing at 101%

When Sreedharan was posted in Southern Railway, a cyclone in 1964 severely damaged the Pamban Bridge that connected Rameshwaram to the mainland Tamil Nadu (TN). It was a great loss to tje people of Rameshwaram, who were left isolated from TN. The Railways set a target of six month to repair the bridge and pull back life to normal. His boss who was in charge of this ambitious project put Sreedharan (barely 30 at the time) to restore bridge operations within a short deadline of 90 days. This further cut in time limit doesn’t make Sreedharan lose his enthusiasm, cool-off his spirit and as a reward, he completed the project within record 46 days. The Railway recognized his achievement and hard work by felicitating Sreedharan the Railway Minister’s Award. This story tells us how much Sreedharan is devoted to his profession irrespective of conditions.
