Gandhinagar Railway Station is the first of its kind in the world which sets an example of Women Empowerment as it is the first railway station operated only by women. From cleanliness to the station master, the station is handled by women staff.
From operation, reservation and booking staff personnel to railway protection force, 40 women have been tasked with the responsibility to operate and manage the important railway station, making it an “all-women railway station”. The Gandhinagar railway station is situated on the Jaipur-Delhi rail route and more than 50 trains pass through this station every day. The station has a daily footfall of more than 7,000 passengers.
The Gandhinagar railway station is the second in the country to be managed solely by women – the first being Matunga in Mumbai.
