Spelling good news for millions of Indian railway passengers, 150 railway stations across the country have been awarded the 'Eat Right Station' certification by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
Not just customers, but even the vendors will benefit from the 'Eat Right Station' certification as it will enhance their credibility, leading to greater footfall and income.
In an effort to expand the programme, six prominent metro stations across the country, including Noida Sector 51, Esplanade (Kolkata), IIT Kanpur, Botanical Garden (Noida), and Noida Electronic City Metro Station, have also been accredited as 'Eat Right Stations'.
FSSAI is committed to further extending the 'Eat Right Station' programme, with the goal of encompassing all major railway and metro stations. This initiative promises to contribute significantly to promoting a healthier India.
Last year in January, Varanasi Cantonment Railway Station received a 5-star 'Eat Right Station' certification. The certification signifies the station's full compliance with safe and hygienic food practices, setting benchmarks for providing high-quality, nutritious food to passengers.
Other railway stations with star certifications include Anand Vihar Terminal Railway Station (Delhi), Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Mumbai), Mumbai Central Railway Station (Mumbai), Vadodara Railway Station, Chandigarh Railway Station, and Bhopal Railway Station.
