Prayagraj, 21 Oct (HS): Under Project Ayushman, South Western

Railway rolls out a first-of-its-kind nursing room facility at Platform 2 —

bringing dignity, comfort, and privacy to traveling mothers

In a heartening move that blends comfort with compassion, Indian

Railways has unveiled a dedicated nursing room at Platform 2 of the historic

Mysuru Railway Station — offering a quiet, hygienic, and secure space for

nursing mothers and infants.

This passenger-friendly facility has been launched under the

“Project Ayushman”, in collaboration with Ladies Circle India, as part of

Indian Railways’ ongoing mission to make travel more inclusive, thoughtful, and

humane.

Traveling with infants — especially during long layovers,

late-night connections, or festival rush — can be exhausting for mothers. Until

now, many were left without private spaces for nursing or baby care.

This newly inaugurated nursing room: Offers privacy and dignity

for mothers. Is air-conditioned and well-lit. Maintains high cleanliness

standards. Provides a safe space away from crowded platforms. By combining

comfort with care, the Indian Railways is raising the bar for what passengers

can expect from modern-day rail travel.
