my experience of allahabad-1

The city of Allahabad is much more than I actually thought.
 Mughar emperor Akbar renamed the city of Prayag to allahabad which means 'city of allah (the term for god in islam)', but the name Prayag is still popular among people all over India.
This city is very very historical dating back to the Pauranic period of the Sanaatan religion.
 Akbar was so convinced with the mystical nature of this place that he renamed this place.
There is a popular fort built by Akbar besides the 'sangam', the place where the mighty river Ganga(ganges), yamuna and mythological river Saraswati meet.
 This Sangam witnesses the huge gathering of people every year specially after a gap of 6 years(ardh-kumbh) and 12years(purn-kumbh or simply kumbh).
As per an estimate, the number of people gathering here at that time is not in lacs but in crores.

My purpose of visit to allahabad was my final semester internship at IFFCO fertilizer plant, Phulpur.
The training department here usually provide industrial training to engineering students for a maximum duration of 2 months, as that is the required criteria for most of the colleges nearby affiliated by UPTU.
 But since I got some connections inside, I managed to get a chance for industrial training for 6 months.
The final semester of b.tech in PTU is completely meant for  industrial training. So, my training is going on and is expected to end in june.
 I'll share more of my experience in days to come. Till then, good bye.:)

visiting IFFCO, phulpur

The phulpur fertiliser unit of IFFCO (INDIAN FARMERS FERTILISER COOPERATIVE ltd.) is located in the ghiyanagar area of phulpur.
 Its located in the district of allahabad and is situated on the outskirts of the city on the route which connects allahabad to varanasi.
There are frequent buses that ply from civil lines depote to phulpur via chungi, jhoosi, sahso etc. and they charge Rs. 25 as fare.
The distance between phulpur and civil lines bus stand is about 25km. Phulpur is also connected by a railway lines.
 Most of the trains which move on allahabad-varanasi rail route stop at phulpur and ghiyanagar railway stations.
 Also, if you are an employee or trainee of IFFCO then there are buses for you from inside the IFFCO township which charge nominally, about Rs. 5.
These buses are contracted by IFFCO and run frequently between IFFCO plant to allahabad at regular intervals of time with first bus at 7:00 am and last bus at 7:30 pm.
 If you are at allahabad railway station then simply get out at civil lines side and ask anyone where is harsh hotel. There you will get a bus for IFFCO at regular intervals.
