Who is Dr. G Madhavi Latha, the geotechnical genius behind India's Chenab Bridge
The Chenab Railway Bridge in Jammu and Kashmir , upon its complete construction, became the world's highest railway single-arch bridge. Inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 6, 2025, this architectural marvel stands 359 meters above the Chenab River, surpassing even the Eiffel Tower in height. Going across 1,315 meters, the bridge is an important component of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project, aiming to provide all-weather rail connectivity to the Kashmir Valley. While the bridge itself is a symbol of engineering excellence, the journey to its completion was paved with challenges. At the forefront of this endeavor was Dr. G Madhavi Latha, a distinguished professor at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru. Her expertise and dedication were important in overcoming the region's complex geological and environmental hurdles. Who is Dr. G Madhavi Latha? Dr. G Madhavi Latha is a renowned figure in the field of civil engineering, specialising in geotechnical and rock engineering. She completed her in Civil Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University in 1992, followed by an from NIT Warangal. In 2000, she earned her Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from IIT Madras. Before joining IISc in 2004, she served as a faculty member at IIT Guwahati. At IISc, she became the first female faculty member in the Civil Engineering Department. The professor said on the IISc website, "Back then, there were no exclusive toilets for women in the department. I had to really fight to get a women's toilet in the geotechnical engineering building." Over the years, Dr. Latha has received numerous accolades, including the Best Woman Geotechnical Researcher award from the Indian Geotechnical Society in 2021 and recognition among the 'Top 75 Women in STEAM' in India in 2022. What was her role in the Chenab Railway Bridge Project? Dr. Latha's involvement in the Chenab Railway Bridge project spanned 17 years, during which she served as a geotechnical consultant. Her primary responsibility was to address the tough challenges posed by the region's rugged terrain and unpredictable geological conditions. The project's success hinged on innovative solutions to stabilise slopes, design strong foundations, and ensure the structural toughness of the bridge. A notable area of Dr. Latha's approach was the adoption of a 'design-as-you-go' method. This strategy allowed her team to respond dynamically to unforeseen geological anomalies, such as fractured rocks and hidden cavities. As she noted in her paper 'Design as You Go: The Case Study of Chenab Railway Bridge', "Construction of a civil engineering marvel like the Chenab bridge posed many challenges from planning to completion. A rigid design with fixed dimensions and pre-determined solutions would not have been feasible." Her team's efforts included the installation of rock anchors and the implementation of slope stabilisation techniques to withstand seismic activities and extreme weather conditions. These interventions were crucial in ensuring the bridge's resilience and longevity. IISc acknowledged Dr. Latha's contributions on X, stating, 'We are proud of Prof Madhavi Latha & her team's contribution to the Chenab Bridge inaugurated by Hon'ble PM Narendra Modi. The team worked on stability of slopes, design & construction of foundations, design of slope stabilisation systems, incl. rock anchors to withstand hazards.'

Meet Dr Madhavi Latha, the IISc professor behind world's highest Chenab bridge
Dr G Madhavi Latha, a distinguished professor at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, and an engineer, has been instrumental in the development of the Chenab Rail Bridge, the world's highest railway bridge. Located in Jammu and Kashmir, this bridge stands 359 meters above the Chenab River and is part of a crucial railway project aimed at improving Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu congratulated Dr Latha for her 17-year dedication to work towards building the world's highest railway a post on X, the chief minister wrote, "Another Telugu daughter has made India proud! I salute Professor G. Madhavi Latha Garu, one of the brilliant minds behind the world's highest railway bridge over the Chenab River, inaugurated by Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji on June 6. Hailing from a small village in Andhra Pradesh, she dedicated 17 years of hard work and sacrifice to build this architectural marvel for the nation." He also applauded the entire team for successfully completing this milestone. He added, "I congratulate the entire team of engineers and construction workers on completing this unprecedented project, despite the challenging terrain and harsh weather conditions. Your contributions towards nation-building are inspiring." advertisement PROFESSOR MADHAVI LATHA'S EDUCATIONDr Latha completed her BTech in Civil Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, in 1992. She then pursued her MTech in Geotechnical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Warangal, where she graduated as a Gold 2000, she earned her PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from IIT Madras. After completing her doctoral studies, Dr Latha joined the IISc in 2003 as a faculty member, following her tenure as an Assistant Professor at IIT she serves as a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering and is also the Chair of the Centre for Sustainable Technologies at AND HONOURSDr Latha has received numerous prestigious awards and honours throughout her career. In 2021, she was recognised as the Best Woman Researcher in Geotechnical Engineering by the Indian Geotechnical also received the Prof SK Chatterjee Outstanding Researcher Award from IISc and the Woman Achiever Award from the Karnataka Book of is a recipient of the SERB POWER Fellowship and was listed amongst the Top 75 Women in STEAM of India in she served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Indian Geotechnical Journal from 2016 to 2022 and has been an Associate Editor for several international IN DEVELOPING WORLD'S HIGHEST BRIDGEadvertisementDr Latha's role in this project was not easy. She had to face extreme weather, challenging terrain, and the harsh conditions of the mountainous region. The bridge is being constructed at a height higher than the Eiffel Tower and requires precision engineering to ensure its safety and passion for infrastructure development and her ability to thrive in such a tough environment has earned her great respect amongst her peers. Despite the hurdles, she has successfully managed the bridge's construction with dedication and a woman in a traditionally male-dominated field, Dr Madhavi Latha has faced her share of challenges but continues to break barriers. Her leadership and hard work have inspired many, especially women, to pursue careers in engineering.
