Aim of the Program:
The aim of the visit was to provide students with practical exposure to the components and functioning of railway tracks at Kolhapur Railway Station. The program was organized to help students understand the structural elements of railway tracks, including rails, sleepers, ballast, fastenings, and signaling systems, thereby bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-time railway engineering practices in civil engineering.

Program Details:
• Date: February 27th ,2026
• Venue: Kolhapur
• Participants: FY, SY & TY students
• Co-ordinator: Station Master, Kolhapur Railway Station.
Conclusion:
Through the visit to Kolhapur Railway Station, students gained firsthand knowledge of railway track components, track alignment, maintenance practices, and safety measures followed in railway operations. The visit enhanced their practical understanding of railway engineering concepts and infrastructure management. It also emphasized the importance of applying theoretical knowledge in real-life transportation engineering projects.
