What are the measures taken by Indian Railways to improve connectivity

Discuss the announcement of “Vande Bharat” and its impact on Railway connectivity.
Indian Railways have taken a variety of measures to improve connectivity across the country. One such action is the implementation of 'Project Utkristh' to improve the quality and efficiency of Mail/Express trains. The 100 new routes and doubling of tracks on congested routes are among the steps taken. In addition, they have initiated various modernization projects, including an advance signalling system, high-speed trains, and so on, to provide a comfortable and efficient journey to passengers. One of Indian Railways' most significant announcements is the introduction of the 'Vande Bharat Express' or Train 18, a self-propelled semi-high-speed train with a maximum speed of 160 kmph. This train has revolutionized train travel in India, with dynamic pricing, safety features, and improved passenger amenities. The introduction of this train has also boosted tourism and local economies. Additionally, it has reduced travel time and increased connectivity between cities, promoting growth and development.
