Indian Railways Ekta Nagar station near Statue of Unity to be tourist hub

Indian Railways is developing Ekta Nagar railway station in Gujarat as a hub of tourism. A few days ago, the Kevadiya railway station was renamed Ekta Nagar railway station. The Railway Ministry had approved the renaming of the Statue of Unity’s Kevadiya railway station. According to the Ministry of Railways, the work of developing a green corridor to protect the world’s tallest statue- the Statue of Unity, from pollution is also going to start here. Earlier, the national transporter had said that an Art Gallery will be opened, which will enable tourists from India and all over the world visiting the Statue of Unity in Gujarat to experience the state’s rich cultural history at the Ekta Nagar railway station itself.

The Vadodara Division of the Western Railway zone had awarded the first of its kind contract in the history of Indian Railways under public – private partnership (PPP) initiative for the development of an Art Gallery with Souvenir shop at Ekta Nagar railway station.
