Understanding The Different Aspects Of The Facility To Order Meal On Train 

For long, Indian railways faced extensive criticism for offering sub standard food to passengers travelling by train across India. But then in 2014, the Railway ministry launched a program that made it possible for travelers to order food of their choice while travelling and get it delivered at the nearest railway station right on their seats. The program which was first launched on a purely experimental basis along selected routes, received such a phenomenal response that the government went on to make the facility available on all routs across the length and breadth of the country.

  • The introduction of e-catering facility has paved the way for the food service on Indian rains to be professionalized  and this will go a long way in ensuring the health and satisfaction of the travelers, especially who need to travel quite frequently.
  • Getting multi-cuisine platters and snacks of choice through food delivery at Ahmadabad railway station and other stations across the country is all set to revolutionize the concept and experience of train travel in India.
  • The initiation of the e-catering scheme is all set to enhance the economy of the Indian railways through generation of better revenues, which in turn can be utilized to improve the other facilities necessary for a comfortable train travel.

E-catering services are the first step in the direction of privatization of the basic amenities offered to passengers of Indian railways.
