Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to flag off three new Vande Bharat trains on August 31, enhancing connectivity across Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. The Ministry of Railways highlighted the significance of these trains in promoting faster, more comfortable travel, aligning with India's 'Make in India' and Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. The Vande Bharat Express, first introduced on February 15, 2019, under the 'Make in India' initiative, has become a symbol of luxury and speed in rail travel.
Currently, over 100 Vande Bharat services are operational, connecting more than 280 districts across the country, significantly transforming the travel experience for millions. The Vande Bharat trains are equipped with advanced safety features, such as Kavach technology, rotating chairs, Divyangjan-friendly toilets, and integrated Braille signages, ensuring a modern and inclusive travel experience. The launch of these trains is anticipated to not only improve connectivity but also support religious tourism and local economies, particularly in regions like Meerut and Nagercoil, by providing faster and more efficient travel options.
