In a historic initiative, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for the redevelopment of 508 railway stations across the length and breadth of the country on August 6 at 11 AM via video conferencing.

The Prime Minister has often laid stress on the provision of state-of-the-art public transport. Noting that railways is the preferred mode of transport for people across the country, he has emphasised the importance of providing world-class amenities at railway stations. Guided by this vision, the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme was launched to redevelop 1309 stations across the country.
