Introduction
“There is no intelligence where there is no change.”
Since the establishment of Jamalpur workshop, Steam era Loco Pilots were trained at Jamalpur. The control of training school changed hands from Workshop to Technical School (1888-1974) and back to workshop as “Pranali takniki School” (PTS) which was later named Diesel Driver Training Centre(DDTC).Presently, it is Pilot Training School i.e. PTS. Since July’19, the newly constructed PTS campus with integrated Hostel is running at Golf Road, East Colony, Jamalpur. The Diesel Loco (Conventional Loco provided with CCB system) Simulator Centre, the other wing of PTS/JMP is still running inside Workshop premises since 2006
