New Delhi: Railway minister Lalu Yadav seems to have left an inspiring spell on the Wharton business students. After Lalu’s lectures, it was the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation that gave management tips to the students.

Over 36 students from the Wharton School under the University of Pennsylvania visited the Delhi Metro last week. Their discussions centred on the techniques used by The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to construct the world-class rail system in a congested city like Delhi two years and nine months ahead of schedule, and that too within budgeted cost.

Students from Wharton School and Harvard University had also met Union Railway Minister Lalu Prasad last week to take management tips from him.

The DMRC informed the students about the management philosophy of the Metro—“time is money".

Over the next few days, students from the John F Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University and the Stanford Graduate School of Business will also visit Delhi Metro.

In the past, teams from the Darden School of Business, University of Virginia, the Indian Institute of Technology, Indian Institute of Management, the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force had visited the Metro.
