As a part of the railway station beautification drive launched by the Railway Ministry, Sehore railway station in Madhya Pradesh has been selected and several makeover works are going on there.
Notably, a couple of months ago, the Union Cabinet had taken a decision in this regard. It was decided that the redevelopment of stations across the railway network will have a multiplier effect in the economy with more job opportunities and improved economic growth.
At present, the work on wall paintings for the beautification of Sehore railway station is still in progress.
Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Swachhata Mission, so far the national transporter has beautified as many as 10 railway stations in the Ratlam division of Madhya Pradesh.
Over the last few months, several stations across the railway network have been redeveloped and beautified under Railway Ministry’s station redevelopment and beautification initiative.
Meanwhile, the Railway Ministry is also working towards turning two prominent railway stations into multi-modal hubs or world-class transit hubs. This plan is being executed by the Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation Limited (IRSDC).
