INDIAN RAILWAYS

Indian Railways, India's national train network, is operated by the Ministry of Railways, Government of India. It spans a sizable portion of the nation and is one of the biggest railway networks in the entire world. Between Mumbai and Thane, the first railway in India was constructed in 1853. As the network grew over time, Indian Railways was nationalised and placed under a single management in 1951. Today, it is divided into multiple zones with a vast network of tracks. It plays a crucial role in the country’s economy by facilitating the movement of goods and people and is a significant contributor to employment generation.
