    Silk Route Ultra Marathon: Sachin Ashok Sharma (IRTS 2008), secretary to the general manager/Western Railways, has earned plaudits for completing multiple marathons and triathlons over the years. And amid his preparations for events in the future, he looks forward to achieving more heights and making the nation proud.
