As soon as the name of Sanchi comes, the first picture that emerges in people’s mind is the world famous Buddhist Stupa. Every year thousands of domestic and foreign tourists reach here. In such a situation, Sanchi Railway Station is not just a station but is considered to be the most important gateway to reach this historical heritage. For a long time, passengers were feeling the need for modern facilities here, which have now been completed.

Now Sanchi Railway Station is seen in a completely changed style. The new look of the station is attracting the passengers at first sight. Redevelopment at a cost of about Rs 15.32 crore under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme has equipped this station with modern facilities. Railways believes that this will not only provide relief to passengers, but will also give new impetus to tourism and local trade.

Sanchi Railway Station gets new life under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme

To modernize railway stations across the country, the Central Government had launched Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. Sanchi railway station was also selected under this scheme. According to railway officials, the main objective of redeveloping the station was to provide a better experience to passengers and promote tourism.

While earlier the structure of the station looked simple, now its design has become quite attractive and convenient. Along with giving a new look to the station building, special attention has also been given to the needs of the passengers. From the entrance to the platform, every part has been prepared systematically.

Tourists coming to Sanchi Stupa will get big benefits

The importance of Sanchi railway station is not limited to local travelers only. This station is among the nearest railway stations to the world famous Sanchi Stupa. This is the reason why a large number of foreign tourists also reach here every year.

Earlier many tourists felt the lack of facilities at the station. Especially elderly passengers and families had to face problems related to seating, cleanliness and information. But now the situation has changed a lot.

Railways has developed the station in such a way that the tourists coming here do not face any inconvenience. Due to digital information system and modern announcement system, passengers get information related to the train immediately. This reduces confusion and makes traveling easier.

Major changes in every facility from platform to parking

During the redevelopment of Sanchi Railway Station, maximum attention was given to passenger amenities. New and strong sheds have been installed on the platforms so that passengers do not face any problem in heat and rain.

Apart from this, the seating arrangement has also been improved. Whereas earlier passengers did not get enough seats, now comfortable arrangements have been made. The platform surface has also been made strong and safe so that the chances of accidents are reduced.

The circulating area of ​​the station complex has also been beautified. The parking system has been well organized so that the passengers coming with private vehicles do not face any problem. This is also expected to reduce the crowd and chaos outside the station.

Digital system made the journey of passengers easier

In today’s time, digital facilities at railway stations are considered very important. Keeping this in mind, many modern systems have been installed at Sanchi Railway Station.

Digital information boards have been installed at the station, through which passengers can easily get information about the arrival and departure of trains. Apart from this, coach position display system has also been installed, through which passengers get accurate information about their compartment.

The modern public announcement system has also become a major feature of the station. Now passengers hear important information in a clear voice. This is especially helping the elderly and travelers coming from outside. Railway officials say that more digital facilities can be added in the coming time, which will give the passengers a smart station like experience.

Special arrangements for disabled people also

In the redevelopment of Sanchi Railway Station, special attention has been given to the needs of disabled passengers. Facilities like ramps and tactile paths have been developed to make the station disabled-friendly.

Earlier many disabled passengers used to face problems in movement at the station, but now they can easily reach the platform. This step of Railways is being considered quite commendable.

Keeping security in mind at night, better lighting arrangements have also been made in the station premises. This provides a safe environment to the passengers and the look of the station also appears more attractive than before.
