Pune: In an ambitious move, the Central Railways (CR) has decided to develop 16 railway stations in and around Pune division under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme (ABSS). Under the scheme, the selected railway stations will be developed with improved amenities for passengers.

The Ministry of Railways has taken up an ambitious project to improve customer experience for more than 1200 stations on Indian Railways under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme . This scheme is different from major upgradation of important stations.
Since the aim of the facilities is to improve the customer experience, it is felt that feedback from the stakeholders is very important.
