They are part of the 508 stations in the country and 25 stations in the Southern Railway that will go through major redevelopment under the scheme.
Mr. Modi, in his address, said that small towns of the country are being modernised through the Amrit Bharat Station scheme, and once the project becomes a reality, it will be beneficial for farmers and common people.
