NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation for the 505 Amrit Bharat Stations on February 26 for Rs 40,000 Crore.
Amrit Bharat Stations
The Amrit Bharat Station Scheme is all about making Indian railway stations better. It includes making plans and then carrying them out step by step. The goal is to improve things like getting into the station, where you wait, and the bathrooms.
They’ll also add useful stuff like elevators and escalators. Plus, they’re focusing on keeping stations clean, providing free WiFi, setting up kiosks selling local products, and ensuring passengers have the information they need.
Boost to Business Endeavors
Additionally, the plan includes the construction of executive lounges, designated areas for business meetings, and landscaping, with consideration given to the requirements at each station.
Prize Distribution
Additionally, a prize distribution ceremony will be held during the same event. Around 50,000 school students who participated in speech, essay, and poetry writing competitions on the theme “2047 – Viksit Bharat ki Railway,” organised by Indian Railways across 4,000 schools, will also receive prizes.
Other Allied Initiatives
To ensure convenient access, the plan also suggests widening roads, eliminating unnecessary structures, installing clear signage, establishing dedicated pedestrian pathways, organising parking areas, and enhancing lighting.
Project Reach
So far, 1,318 stations have been selected under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme based on proposals from zonal railways and stations in major cities and towns.
