Gonda Rly Institute

If the walls of this building could speak one wonders
what stories would be told about the Anglo-Indian
 railway  families of  Gonda.
The institute was the social hub of all railway colonies
 - a place where families came together to find release
 from an otherwise  humdrum  existence. Today most of
 them are being used for other  purposes or remain
 permanently closed.
