Besides passengers, the vendors, porters, and railways officials were asked to lend their feedbacks on this matter. Almost 400 passengers were interviewed for every A1 group [75 stations], and 300 were interviewed for every A group [332 stations]. Surveyors conducted 10 interviews for each station. When the survey results were declared, the railway minister further sent instructions to the zonal headquarters so that they can take appropriate actions to improve their stations. They even suggested strengthening and supervising railway station platform’s cleanliness via e-platform. The railway ministry has even decided to continue this survey process every year to measure the improvement standards in the stations across the country with a better strategy.
