One of the great landmarks of Kolkata is the Howrah station, which opened in 1854, and has largely remained intact over the decades.
The largest railway station in India is set to switch over to solar energy for all its day time electricity needs by August.
It also ranks as the busiest station in terms of passenger volume per day.
Close to 60% of that - 6,000 units- is required during day time.
The Modi government has been keenly working at shifting the emphasis from fossil fuel to clean energy.
The rooftop of the station and the 23 platforms sheds are getting ready for the installation of a 3 MW solar power plant.
Eastern Railway (ER) will not spend anything to set up the plant.
Generation of power is only one aspect of the solar projects.
