Amrit Bharat Station Scheme:

Amrit Bharat Station Scheme:

Recently, the Ambala Railway Division's 15 railway stations were chosen to be developed as part of the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.
Amrit Bharat Station Scheme was introduced by the Union Ministry of Railways in December 2022 with the goal of modernizing over 1,000 minor stations during the ensuing years.
The plan calls for the continuing growth of stations with a long-term outlook.
The plan's objective is to create master plans for railroad stations and implement them gradually to improve the facilities.
Longer platforms, ballastless rails, space for rooftop plazas, and 5G connectivity are important aspects of these proposed stations.

Additional Facilities Scheduled Under This Plan:

Enhanced lighting, well-planned parking places, designated pedestrian walkways, widened roads, and professionally designed signage all contribute to easy access.
At all types of stations, high-level platforms (760–840 mm) must be available.
Provide top-notch dining and shopping options.
Additionally, room must be made for executive lounges and locations for brief business meetings.
Drainage of platform areas.
There may be ceremonial flags available in the station's proper location.
Special accessibility features.
According to available money and the state of the current assets, a gradual shift to sustainable and ecologically friendly solutions is taken into account.
All prior redevelopment projects that have not yet started will be absorbed into the program.
