Varanasi station is a showcase, but what about smaller stations in rural areas? The initiative is good, but the focus needs to be nationwide, not just on tourist or pilgrimage spots. The glass is half full, but we must remember to fill the other half too.

As a frequent traveler to India for work, I have definitely seen an improvement in public cleanliness over the last few years, especially at major transit hubs. It makes the experience much more pleasant. A positive step for sure.

The real challenge is sustaining this. We can clean a station for a day, but can we keep it clean every day? It requires a change in public mindset. Throwing garbage in bins should become a habit for every Indian citizen, not just the government's job.
