How was it done ?
•Dream Big.•Strong desire for a change.•Belief that this is my workshop•Don’t look up or down for guidance. If guidance was available, things wouldn’t be the way they are today.•Be the traveler & the guide.•Initially people will say, Pagal ho gaya hai., Railway me kuch bhi change nahi hota hai. ,Stores ke liye to koi bhi taiyar nahi hoga.
•Your strong belief permeates up & down and laterally to all the departments.•Everyone will want to become a part of the change•Even civil & electrical contractors want to walk the extra mile for a perfect job done.•Supervise each tile laid, each false ceiling fitted, each cable installed, position of fans-----Everything.
The modus Operandi• Prepare the Civil & Electrical estimate
yourself. These departments are too busy & have no time.
• Civil Work.• Flooring- Big Tiles, small tiles, PVC flooring
or plain Cement Concrete• Brickwork: Sqm• Paneling: MDF or sunmica on plywood ?• False Ceiling: Brown or white ?• Convert brown to white.

Electrical• Get revenue indents generated for your
requirements like fans, switchboards, MCB, Power Panels, Cables , light fittings ---All this of your choice and make.
• Procure through Sr.DMM or Depot Officer.• Get a wiring contract operated on quotation
