Udhna Railway station adopted by Green Man Viral Desai enters the India Book of Records as a unique Green Railway station
The Udhna Junction railway station is the first not only in India but across the world to gain the coveted place in the India Book of Records as the green railway station, which is working in the direction of climate action.
Surat (Gujarat) [India], August 10: The Udhna Junction railway station in Surat has become the first railway station in the country to enter the India Book of Records as a ‘Green Railway Station for eco-system restoration and climate action.
The Udhna Junction railway station is the first not only in India but across the world to gain the coveted place in the India Book of Records as the green railway station, which is working in the direction of climate action.
Thanks to Viral Desai, aka 'Green Man,' who adopted the Udhna Junction railway station through his non-governmental organisation (NGO) 'Hearts at Work Foundation' with the sole mission of giving it a 'green' makeover in 2019. Since then, a number of environmental conservation projects have been carried out at the Udhna railway station.
"This is a historic moment for us, and we are honoured that the India Book of Records has designated Udhna Railway Station as the Green Railway Station," said Viral Desai. "Since 2019, when the greening of the Udhna railway station began, it has piqued the interest of many international organisations."
