Matunga Station on Central Railway has made history as the first fully women-staffed railway station in India. This pioneering initiative, launched in July 2017, has set a benchmark for women's empowerment in public service and railway operations. In recognition of this achievement, Matunga Station was featured in the Limca Book of Records 2018 as the first station in the country to be fully managed by women.
A dedicated team of 32 women staff members, including 16 booking clerks, 9 ticket checkers, 6 operating staff, Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel, pointsmen, and safai karmacharis, manage every aspect of the station’s daily operations. Their responsibilities encompass ticketing, passenger safety, station operations, and maintenance, ensuring seamless service and efficient management.
