India is set to become a leading semiconductor hub, with four units already commissioned and significant investments underway, including projects worth Rs 1.25 lakh crore. This initiative, backed by government policies and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, aims to boost domestic technology capabilities and job creation.

In an interaction with IANS, Ashwini Vaishnaw said that in the last 10 years, PM Modi has done unprecedented transformation in Railways.

India's first bullet train on the Ahmedabad-Mumbai route is set to launch its first section in 2026. Significant strides in construction include completion of 290 km, eight river bridges, and work at 12 stations. The project uses advanced Shinkansen technology and has overcome challenges like Covid-related delays.

The initiative was part of the inauguration for the redevelopment of a total of 554 railway stations and 1,500 road overbridges (ROB) and road underbridges (RUB) across the country at an estimated cost of Rs 41,000 crore.

Vaishnaw submitted his nomination papers to the returning officer at the Odisha Legislative Assembly in the presence of Odisha BJP chief Manmohan Samal, other senior leaders, and 10 proposers.

“For the first time the allocation in railways crossed Rs 10,000 crore for Odisha in 2022-23 and the modernisation work of 58 Railway stations in Odisha is underway. Work to make the Puri and Bhubaneswar Railway stations world-class was initiated during the term of Ashwini Vaishnaw,” he added.

Vaishnaw had never been in parliament when he was named as the BJP candidate in 2019 despite the party lacking the numbers in the state assembly.

To a media query on the reason behind the ruling party’s backing BJP candidate for Upper House, Samal said, “BJP’s candidate Ashiwini Vaishnaw will file his nomination tomorrow and we will win in such a political scenario.”

Ending all speculations, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday named Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw as its candidate for the upcoming Rajya Sabha election in Odisha.

The Bhubaneswar railway station will be upgraded on par with world-class airports with all modern facilities, informed Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.

On the other hand, the redevelopment work of the Bhubaneswar Railway Station will commence soon. The railway station will be redevelopment to offer a world-class experience informed Union Minister Vaishnaw. 

The much-awaited 5G network service will be available in Odisha by March 2023. While attending a programme in Bhubaneswar, Union Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday said the 5G services will be made available in the state by next year, most likely by March in the big cities.

The train running from Mumbai Central to Gandhinagar in Gujarat had been repaired at the coaching care centre in Mumbai.

Vaishnaw also said that railway stations will act as the "platform" for the sale of regional products.
