IRCTC aims for Sattvik Certificate for Vande Bharat to Katra and for some trains to religious sites

Passengers on board Vande Bharat Express among Delhi and Katra could be encapsulated in a very vegetarian environment, and now no longer simply in phrases of food. The cleansing agents, soaps and different such objects can even be “neutral” material; the servers will now no longer have treated non-vegetarian food, the kitchen wherein they're organized will now no longer have treated whatever aside from vegetarian products.

Indian Railway catering and touristry Corporation can opt for a Sattvik Council of India certification for the train to ensure pure vegetarian expertise for passengers.

In agreement with the NGO Sattvic Council of India, the IRCTC has decided to obtain this certification for some of the trains that go to “holy” destinations, from Vande Bharat to Sri Mata Vaishno Devi, Katra, in JandK. plans to certify not only the train, but also the base kitchen from which food will be taken in the future, the two lounges in Delhi and Katra, and a floor of the Ginger Hotel, a senior official said. According to an analyst from the Sattvic Council of India, it is planned to reproduce it in 18 other trains, such as the Vande Bharat bound for Varanasi.

"We are looking at the future digital choices that PNR has generated for vegetarian passengers on a Sattvivic certified train, is that these passengers cannot even order food from outside through electronic catering, as they will only receive options. vegetarian made-to-order, ”said Sattvic's Viturv Pathak. . “Vegetarians / vegans are gradually representing an influential consumer section in tourism… vegetarian food and the environment are what they appear to be…” Sattvic said.
