The visionary transformation of Lucknow through Indian railways is envisioning the large rollout of the Amrit Bharat station program to make railway stations more modernized. Under this program, Lucknow would see about 10 railway stations reconstructed and refurbished extensively for better passenger experience and infrastructure facets.

Transforming Stations

Aishbagh, Charbagh, Daliganj, Lucknow City, Gomti Nagar, Manaknagar, Utratia, Mohanlalganj, Badshahnagar, and Malhaur will be some of the newly transformed stations. A series of such upgrades aimed at making travel more comfortable and convenient for the passengers will be carried out at these stations.

Plans for upgrading:

One of the main features of the development under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme is the following:

• Access Improvement: The renovation of access points to stations will make them easy to enter and exit for pedestrians.
• Waiting Halls Modernization: Modernized waiting halls or rooms will have better seating, lighting, and amenity provision.
• Restrooms Modernized: Facilities for restroom upgrade or upkeep in cleanliness and proper hygiene standards.
• Facilities like Lifts and Escalators: Installation of lifts and escalators for better accessibility, especially for differently-abled passengers.
• Wi-Fi Free: Free Wi-Fi services for keeping the passengers connected to the world during waiting time.
• Indoor Promotion of Local Products: kiosks promoting local products under the ‘One Station, One Product’ scheme to support local business engines.
• Executive Lounges and Meeting Space for Business: Allocated space for businesspeople and executives on the go.
• Sustainable Practices: such as energy-efficient lighting and better landscaping, transforming stations into ‘green facilities’.

Nationwide Reverberation

This is a nationwide project of the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, which will modernize 1,337 railway stations throughout India. The project envisages transforming railway stations into world-class stations, thereby improving the travel experience of all passengers.

Conclusion

With the transformation of these 10 railway stations in Lucknow under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, the progress made today in augmenting infrastructure and amenity for the passenger has taken a remarkable stride forward. Future developments in the project can ensure that passengers look forward to an impressive travel experience.
