most likely one of those typical sitting on chairs gossiping/playing cards on pc with some work in-between during official 8 hours but in reality 3-4 hours govt job.

You can live decent life here with that much salary assuming you are single.
I live in kalamboli and belapur is just 20 min. away(by bus).
but here rents for the rooms are high so you may find it difficult to search room according to your needs.

may be you should try taking a room with some group of friends.

Don't they provide staff quarters or hostel during training?

in 19000 may just be sufficient but might get a little crunched for you if you are not the savings type of person...all the best!!! :D
