BUILDING THE DURGAPUR STEELWORKS.—Men at work on the Durgapur site, with cooling towers in the background. About 30,800 staff are employed on the site, including 800 supervisers and British engineers. In spite of the gigantic operations involved, I.S.C.O.N.—the group of 13 British companies responsible for construction—was able to light the first coke oven battery on August 24, nearly 10 weeks ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, about 350 Indian technicians are being trained in Britain under the Colombo Plan to run the plant.
