What does it tell you about the corporate culture of Delhi Metro?
Answers
Answer:
Huge infrastructure projects such as the metro rail need to be completed on time and as per schedule since the costs increase each day, said former Delhi Metro Rail Corporation chief Dr. E. Sreedharan on Friday. Drawing on his experience from the Delhi Metro construction, he said the increase in the cost of the first phase would have been Rs. 1.5 crore per day and for the second phase it would have been 2.5 crore per day.
Constant Reminder
Therefore, “We had to constantly remind ourselves about this to complete the project in time,” he said amid applause at the National Police Academy (NPA) here. He was delivering the 27 Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Memorial Lecture. Addressing IPS officers and cadets, Dr. Sreedharan said that they can learn from the success story of the DMR. “The Delhi Metro rail project was successful mainly because of the unique work culture that we followed there. Aspects like punctuality, integrity, professional competence and social responsibility are very important for any success story, be it a project or a career,” he pointed out. With anecdotes, he advised the cadets on ways to improve their personal lives as well as their careers. Ultimately, the role of the police should be more like a protective service rather than a regulatory one, he said.
Viability of PPP
Dr. Sreedharan, while fielding questions, stuck to his stance that the Public, Private Partnership (PPP) mode may not be financially viable for metro projects but the Konkan Railway project was a success only when the government converted its own stake into equity.

A well equipped and aptly co-ordinated system of transport has a significant impact on the sustained economic growth of a country. The prevailing transport system of India includes diverse modes of transport including rail, road, coastal shipping, air transport, etc.
Transportation 2
In India has marked a commendable rise both in terms of spread of network and in output of the system. Cities and towns have a significant role to play in promoting economic growth and prosperity. Though less than one-third of India’s population live in cities and towns, these areas generate over two-third of the country’s income and account for 90% of government revenues. City efficiency is greatly dependent on success of its transport systems, which implies, the efficacy with which people and goods are moved throughout the city. Poor transport systems choke the economic growth and development, resulting in the loss of competitiveness in both domestic as well as international markets.
Commuting has been one of the prime concerns in almost all metropolitan/cosmopolitan towns for the general public, town planners, and the civic bodies because of comparatively large development of road infrastructure. Public transportation in the metro towns is largely road-based and inclusive of bus system, auto-rickshaws, cycle-rickshaws and taxis.
