Vande Bharat: Check Full List Of Trains, Timings, Routes & Ticket Prices Across India
Vande Bharat Express Trains List: At present, 144 Vande Bharat services are operational on the Indian Railways network, which means 72 trains run across the country Vande Bharat Express Trains List: It was 2019 when the first Vande Bharat Express rolled out of the station—marking the arrival of not just a faster train but the beginning of a new chapter in India's transportation story. Designed, engineered, and manufactured entirely in India, the Vande Bharat series is not just a technological achievement but also reflects the country's ability to create modern, world-class infrastructure using indigenous talent and resources.

4,106 panchayats TB-free, CG wins nat'l award for campaign success
Raipur: Chhattisgarh is making rapid strides towards tuberculosis (TB) elimination with declaration of 4,106 gram panchayats TB-free. Chhattisgarh also received a national award for excellent implementation of the TB-Free Gram Panchayat programme. The state is implementing a comprehensive action plan to achieve PM Narendra Modi's goal of making India TB-free by 2025. The "Nikshay-Niramay Chhattisgarh – 100-day campaign" began on Dec 7, 2024. The campaign aimed to combat TB at the grassroots level. Under the initiative, authorities identified and listed high-risk individuals through door-to-door surveys across all districts. They conducted tests using modern techniques. Public participation played a significant role in the campaign's success. The Governor, CM, and Health minister adopted TB patients and provided nutritional support as 'Nikshay Mitras'. Over 15,000 new Nikshay Mitras have registered and provided nutritional assistance to more than 34,000 patients. Chief minister Vishnu Deo Sai directed authorities to focus on vulnerable sections of society often deprived of healthcare services. These include prisoners, elderly residents in old age homes, students in hostels, and factory workers. Sai stated that when govt commitment and public cooperation unite, change transforms from a goal into an achievement. Chhattisgarh is becoming a living example of this.
