Patna: East Central Railway (ECR) General Manager Chhatrasal Singh on Friday evening inaugurated a newly constructed world-class auditorium, Srijan, at the senior secondary railway school premises in Khagaul on the outskirts of the city.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
The auditorium has a seating capacity of 200 and is equipped with modern amenities, including air conditioning, an LED video hall, and cushioned push-back chairs. It also features a spacious stage measuring 34 feet in width, making it suitable for a wide range of academic, cultural, and theatrical activities, according to ECR Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) Saraswati Chandra.

With the addition of the new facility, the 137-year-old senior secondary railway school is expected to emerge as a focal centre for hosting state- and national-level academic seminars, conferences, and cultural events. The auditorium will also play a key role in promoting theatre and other artistic activities in the town while enhancing opportunities for students, the CPRO said.
