Railways should adopt technologies for convenient transportation services: President Murmu

President Droupadi Murmu has said that the Indian Railways should adopt the latest digital technologies and explore new avenues to add advanced features for safer, time-saving, more convenient and high-quality transportation services.

She said, “You need to attend to the needs of differently-abled persons, women and the elderly and provide them with a safe and convenient travel experience. Indian Railways has to play a key role in bridging the gaps and realising the dream of an inclusive Atmanirbhar Bharat.”

The president said that today with India moving ahead at national and global levels, the country is witnessing a greater movement of people and goods. She also highlighted the need to have a higher number of women officers in railway services.

She added, “This is going to increase in the future. Therefore, Indian railways should also adopt the latest digital technologies and explore new avenues to add advanced features for safer, time-saving, more convenient and high-quality transportation services.”

Droupadi Murmu said that railways are the veritable lifeline for many people who commute to their workplaces for jobs or businesses on a day-to-day basis. She said, “Officers of Indian railways shoulder a big responsibility since they help people earn their livelihoods daily. Many people also travel for medical treatment. The role of railways in the life of a common man remains as significant as ever.”
