Behind The World's Highest Rail Bridge: The Madhavi Lata Story
From a barefoot girl in a remote Andhra village who once sold old notebooks for 40 paise to buy kerosene to a celebrated scientist shaping India's engineering marvels - Professor Madhavi Latha's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Yesterday, she was honoured as co-winner of the Indian Science Icon of the Year at the NDTV Indian Of The Year event, a recognition befitting her pioneering role in one of India's most ambitious infrastructure projects: the Chenab Railway Bridge. She dedicated the award to the Indian Railways and shared it with all the engineers who contributed to the bridge.
