The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has broadened its network of certified stations and railway campuses to ensure safe, hygienic, and quality food services. West Bengal’s Alipurduar Division under NFR has attained Eat Right Station and Eat Right Campus certifications for one railway station and three institutional facilities. Previously, various stations in NFR, including those in Assam and West Bengal, had received Eat Right Station certifications.
This recent recognition in the Alipurduar Division strengthens NFR’s commitment to safe and hygienic food services. The New Alipurduar Railway Station in West Bengal has been certified as an Eat Right Station until December 2027. The certification reflects the station’s strict adherence to food safety guidelines set by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
Additionally, three facilities in the Alipurduar Division have been certified as Eat Right Campuses until December 2027. These include Rail Coach Restaurants at Rajabhatkhawa and Rail Museum, Coochbehar, along with the Multi-Disciplinary Zonal Training Institute at Alipurduar Junction. These certifications mark the first Eat Right Campus certification in the entire NFR zone.
The certifications were granted after detailed audits under the Eat Right India initiative, focusing on food safety, hygiene, cleanliness, waste management, and staff training. These measures aim to ensure safe and hygienic food for passengers, visitors, and railway staff, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses and promoting better practices among vendors. NFR’s priority remains passenger welfare and public health through continuous enhancements in amenities and service standards.
