INSPIRING CIVIL ENGINEER

Elattuvalapil Sreedharan

Elattuvalapil Sreedharan, popularly known as the “Metro Man”, is an Indian

engineer who played a key role in the building of the Konkan Railway and the

Delhi Metro. In India millions of people are dependent on the public transport

and the credit for changing the very face of Indian public transport goes to

this enterprising engineer. The man who began his career as a lecturer in an

engineering college appeared for the Engineering Services Examination

(ESE) and joined the Indian Engineering Service (IES). He first proved

his ability as an engineer when he was put in-charge of restoring a bridge that

had been damaged by a cyclone. He executed the complete work within 46

days as against the six months allotted to this task. Recognized by the govern-

ment for his brilliance, he was made the in-charge for planning and designing

the Kolkata metro, the very first metro in India. He had become such an

invaluable asset to Indian Railways that the government let him know that his

services would be required even after he retired from IES.

The Government of India honored him with the Padma Shri, the fourth high-

est civilian award in the Republic of India, in 2001. The Government of

France bestowed upon him The Order of Légion d'Honneur, the highest dec-

oration in France, in 2005. In 2008 he received the Padma Vibhushan, the

second highest civilian award in the Republic of India, in recognition of his

work with the Delhi Metro.

very noble

profession that

shapes the

character, caliber,

and future of an

individual. If the

people remember

me as a good

teacher, that will

be the biggest

honour for me.”

A good teacher,

like a good

entertainer first

must hold his

audience's

attention, then he

can teach his

lesson.
