  • Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47
    Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47 A P A R A J I T H R AMNATH July 2012 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Imperial College London Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine DECLARATION This thesis represents my own work. Where the work of others is mentioned, it is duly referenced and acknowledged as such. APARAJITH RAMNATH Chennai, India 30 July 2012 2 ABSTRACT This thesis offers a collective portrait of an important group of scientific and technical practitioners in India from 1900 to 1947: professional engineers. It focuses on engineers working in three key sectors: public works, railways and private industry. Based on a range of little-used sources, it charts the evolution of the profession in terms of the composition, training, employment patterns and work culture of its members. The thesis argues that changes in the profession were both caused by and contributed to two important, contested transformations in interwar Indian society: the growth of large-scale private industry (industrialisation), and the increasing proportion of ‘native’ Indians in government services and private firms (Indianisation). Engineers in the public works and railways played a crucial role as officers of the colonial state, as revealed by debates on Indianisation in these sectors. Engineers also enabled the emergence of large industrial enterprises, which in turn impacted the profession. Previously dominated by expatriate government engineers, the profession expanded, was considerably Indianised, and diversified to include industrial experts. Whereas the profession was initially oriented towards the imperial metropolis, a nascent Indian identity emerged in the interwar period.

  • Speech of Mamata Banerjee Introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25Th February 2011
    Speech of Mamata Banerjee introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25th February 2011 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present before this august House the Revised Estimates for 2010-11 and the estimated receipts and expenditure for 2011-12. I deem it an honour to present the third Railway Budget under the kind guidance of the hon'ble Prime Minister. I profusely thank the Finance Minster for his continued support and encouragement to the railways. 2. As the hon’ble members are aware, the wheels of the railways continue to move 24 hours, all 365 days. Railway’s services are comparable to emergency services, required all the time. I am proud of the 14 lakh members of my railway family, who toil day and night with unparalleled dedication. I am also grateful to all passengers without whose cooperation and consideration, we could not have run this vast system. I have also received unstinted support from our two recognised federations and staff and officers’ associations. 3. Madam, rail transportation is vitally interlinked with the economic development of the country. With the economy slated to grow at a rate of 8-9%, it is imperative that the railways grow at an even faster pace. I see the railways as an artery of this pulsating nation. Our lines touch the lives of humble people in tiny villages, as they touch the lives of those in the bustling metropolises. 4. We are taking a two-pronged approach, scripted on the one hand, by a sustainable, efficient and rapidly growing Indian Railways, and on the other, by an acute sense of social responsibility towards the common people of this nation.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT OF THESIS This thesis takes as its subject the foundation and rise to commercial power of the British Managing Agencies in Calcutta in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As private partnerships they initiated and controlled a substantial body of commercial, industrial and agricultural concerns, in transport, coal, jute, financial services and, importantly, in tea. This topic has been largely ignored by other business historians, who have preferred to study the Managing Agencies’ eventual decline and extinction during the following half- century. However, it is equally instructive to examine the health and vigour that propelled young businesses towards the power and prosperity which blossomed before 1914. The thesis examines in some detail five Managing Agencies and the individual entrepreneurs who founded and ran them, necessarily selected according to the availability and usefulness of primary sources but providing a reasonably representative range of characteristics and business activities.

  • Annual Performance Report - 2014-15 Brief History of N.F
    ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT - 2014-15 BRIEF HISTORY OF N.F. RAILWAY The tea, oil and coal industries were set up in Upper Assam area around the 1860s and 70s. Transportation of the produce was by river routes down the Brahmaputra. A need was felt for construction of a Railway from the tea and oil producing centres in the hinterland to the river port at Dibrugarh. The Assam Railways and Trading Company Limited which was incorporated in July 1881, took up the task of construction of the first railway line - and the first Metre Gauge train in the Northeast region chugged from the river ghat in Dibrugarh to Jeypore road on 1st May 1882. By February, 1884 the railway line had reached the coalfields of Margherita and by May, 1884 another line from Makum to Doomdooma was constructed. This network formed what was known as the Dibru Sadiya Railway (DSR). About this time, an overseas market had been created for tea and jute, the principal products of Assam and Eastern Bengal. The Assam Bengal Railway (ABR) was formed in 1892 to connect the port of Chittagong by rail to upper Assam and provide an outlet for these products for the overseas markets. The railway also expected to pick up some of the already existing road traffic between Dhaka and Chittagong leading to the steady economic development of the area. The railway line from the port of Chittagong to Tinsukia (Makum) was constructed in three phases – from Chittagong to Badarpur with branch lines to Silchar and Laksham, from Badarpur to Lumding through the North Cachar Hills and in the third phase from Lumding further North to connect the DSR at Makum.

  • The Haldibari – Chilahati Rail Link Between India & Bangladesh
    The Haldibari – Chilahati rail link between India & Bangladesh December 18, 2020 In news Prime Ministers of India and Bangladesh jointly inaugurated a railway link between Haldibari in India and Chilahati in Bangladesh during the PM level virtual bilateral summit. Background The Haldibari – Chilahati rail link was operational till 1965. This was part of the Broad Gauge main route from Kolkata to Siliguri during partition. Trains traveling to Assam and North Bengal continued to travel through the then East Pakistan territory even after partition. For example, a train from Sealdah to Siliguri used to enter East Pakistan territory from Darshana and exit using the Haldibari – Chilahati link. However, the war of 1965 effectively cut off all the railway links between India and the then East Pakistan. So on the Eastern Sector of India partition of the railways thus happened in 1965. So the importance of the reopening of this rail link can be well imagined. About the Haldibari – Chilahati rail link In pursuance of the joint declaration in the Inter- Governmental Railway Meeting (IGRM) held in Delhi in May, 2015; Railway Board sanction for construction of a new BG line from Haldibari station to Bangladesh Border for connection with Chilahati (Bangladesh) [Length – 3.50 km] in 2016-17 in order to reopen this erstwhile rail link. Indian Railways has restored the tracks up to international border from Haldibari station at a cost of Rs. 82.72 crores. Bangladesh Railways has also accordingly undertaken up- gradation and laying of missing tracks on their side from Chilahati station to international border. On Bangladesh side Chilahati – Parbatipur – Santahar – Darshana existing line is already in broad gauge.

  • Indian Railways Is Divided for Indian Railways Is Divided For
    Indian Railways is divided for administrative convenience into several regional railways. Until recently there were 9 zones, and this structure had not changed much for four decades. Recently, 7 new zones have been created, giving a total of 16. In 2010, Kolkata Metro was given the status of the 17th zone of Indian Railways. Additionally, Konkan Railway has the administrative status of a zone of IR, but is nnoott normally considered a zone for operational purposes. (For the administrative structure of Indian Railways, please see the miscellaneous section..)) The nine older railway zones are: Northern Railway (NR) North Eastern Railway (NER) Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR, sometimes NEFR) Western Railway (WR) Southern Railway (SR) South Central Railway (SCR) South Eastern Railway (SER) Eastern Railway (ER) Central Railway (CR) The seven new zones are: South Western Railway (SWR) North Western Railway (NWR) West Central Railway (WCR) North Central Railway (NCR) South East Central Railway (SECR) East Coast Railway (ECoR) East Central Railway (ECR) Deemed zones: Kolkata Metro (given zonal status Dec. 29, 2010) Konkan Railway (deemed a zone for administrative purposes) ZZoonnee HHeeaaddqquuaarrtteerrss DDiivviissiioonnss New zones that started in April 2003 East Coast Bhubaneshwarr Khurda Road, Waltair, and Sambalpur divisions of SER Railway Bangalore and Mysore divisions of SR, reorganized Hubli division of SCR, South Western Hubli including Hospet-Toranagal.

RAILWAY The tea, oil and coal industries were set up in Upper Assam area around the 1860s and 70s. Transportation of the produce was by river routes down the Brahmaputra. A need was felt for construction of a Railway from the tea and oil producing centres in the hinterland to the river port at Dibrugarh. The Assam Railways and Trading Company Limited which was incorporated in July 1881, took up the task of construction of the first railway line - and the first Metre Gauge train in the Northeast region chugged from the river ghat in Dibrugarh to Jeypore road on 1st May 1882. By February, 1884 the railway line had reached the coalfields of Margherita and by May, 1884 another line from Makum to Doomdooma was constructed. This network formed what was known as the Dibru Sadiya Railway (DSR). About this time, an overseas market had been created for tea and jute, the principal products of Assam and Eastern Bengal. The Assam Bengal Railway (ABR) was formed in 1892 to connect the port of Chittagong by rail to upper Assam and provide an outlet for these products for the overseas markets. The railway also expected to pick up some of the already existing road traffic between Dhaka and Chittagong leading to the steady economic development of the area. The railway line from the port of Chittagong to Tinsukia (Makum) was constructed in three phases – from Chittagong to Badarpur with branch lines to Silchar and Laksham, from Badarpur to Lumding through the North Cachar Hills and in the third phase from Lumding further North to connect the DSR at Makum.
