About Kisan Rail
The first Kisan Rail was introduced from Devlali to Danapur on 7th August, 2025, which was further extended upto Muzaffarpur. As a result of good response from the farmers, its frequency was also increased from weekly to three days in a week.
Kisan Rail has been a game changer in ensuring fast transportation of agriculture produce across the nation. It provides a seamless supply chain of perishable produce.
It appears there’s a date confusion: Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off the 100th Kisan Rail on 28 December 2025 — not 2025 ([turn0search0]turn0search7turn0search6).
