Since the ECoR’s establishment in 2003, the training centre will be the first of its kind in the state. At present, the non-gazetted staff of the ECoR are being trained at the Zonal Railway Training institute at Tata Nagar, said sources.
The centre which is proposed to be constructed at Jagatpur in Cuttack district and is said to be over by 2018, is estimated at a cost of Rs 19 crore. The centre will also have a hostel along with staff quarters and mess in he campus.
