Lakhanji Jha Transferred to IRITM as Assistant Professor (Operations & Safety)

Lakhanji Jha, currently serving in Central Railway (CR), has been transferred to the Indian Railways Institute of Transport Management (IRITM) and posted as Assistant Professor in the Operations and Safety discipline. Jha is a Group B officer from the Traffic Department. IRITM, based in Lucknow, is one of the specialised training institutions run by Indian Railways to develop the professional capacity of its officers and staff. Faculty members at IRITM contribute to curriculum development, research, and the training of officers across multiple railway disciplines. The Operations and Safety subject area is particularly critical given Indian Railways' ongoing focus on accident prevention, signal upgrades, and train management systems. Jha's move from active railway operations in Central Railway to a training institution represents a transition from field work to knowledge transfer — a common and valuable career step within the Indian Railways service structure.
