There is nothing that a resolute woman cannot achieve. One such example is Sonali Parua who is making a name for herself with her determination and leadership abilities. She has become the first woman to be appointed as director of a railway station in West Bengal.
What makes her accomplishment more note-worthy is the fact that she has been given charge of one of eastern India's busiest railway stations -- Kharagpur.
Background
Sonali is originally from Kharagpur. She got married in Bajkul, East Midnapore. Her husband is a state government official there. But due to her professional responsibilities, Sonali has to stay at her maternal home in Kharagpur.
First Day
On her first day at work, Sonali had to deal with a complaint of assault on a student by a TTE. She has assured that she will always be there to pay heed to people's grievances.
Sonali was earlier working as the assistant operations manager (general) of Kharagpur division under South Eastern Railway (SER).
"I joined SER in 2003 as an assistant station manager. In 2015, I was promoted to AOM (general). I must have performed well as an AOM or they wouldn't have selected me for this extremely responsible position," Sonali told TOI.
Responsibilities
Her role is to ensure that stations function as centres of excellence for customers with the additional objective of ensuring vigilant and sensitive customer service with superior commercial sense.

More power to her!
