Indian Railway Catering And Tourism Corporation Ltd.(Irctc)

Indian Railway Catering And Tourism Corporation Ltd.(Irctc) has its office in the Biscomaun Tower. This is a very recognizable building right by West Gandhi Maidan in Patna. Since we are in Bihar, we deal with a lot of people who are traveling by train every single day. The office is usually humming with activity because there is always someone checking on a ticket or asking about a tour package. We handle the catering side of things too, which keeps us pretty busy behind the scenes. Being in such a central part of Patna means we see all kinds of people coming through our doors. The views of Gandhi Maidan from the tower are actually quite good if you get a chance to look out the window. We spend our hours looking at train schedules and trying to make sense of the bookings. It can be a bit stressful when the systems are slow or when there is a big holiday coming up and everyone wants to travel at once. We don't really do anything fancy here, just the essential work that keeps the railways moving and people fed. The staff is mostly local folks who have been doing this for years. We know the routes and the problems that come up, so we just try to fix what we can. It’s a lot of paperwork and phone calls, but it’s what we do.
