In the last year’s budget speech, it was proposed to improve passenger amenities by developing 4 new coaching terminals at Nemam and Kottayam in Kerala, Mau in Uttar Pradesh and Dankuni in West Bengal.  I propose to undertake surveys and feasibility studies for developing coaching terminals at these four stations during 2012-13, besides undertaking a pre-feasibility study for development of Roypuram station in Tamil Nadu for which many representations have been received.

Development of a new coaching complex in Navi Mumbai at Panvel and coach maintenance complex at Kalamboli in partnership with Government of Maharashtra through CIDCO are also planned.  This will facilitate direct connectivity of Navi Mumbai to other parts of the country.

Next year will be the 175th Birth Anniversary of one of the greatest patriotic sons of India, Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay who gave the country ‘‘Vande Matram’’.   In his memory, I propose to set up a Coaching Terminal to be named after him at Naihati, his Birth Place, and also a Museum. We will run a Special Train across the country to disseminate his legacy to the young generation.
