As part of the inauguration programme, a tree plantation drive was organised on the station premises. The initiative highlighted the importance of maintaining clean surroundings while also promoting environmental conservation and the creation of greener public spaces.
Later, a programme was held at the station, during which DRM Smt. Bela Meena administered the Swachhata Pledge to the participants.

She urged railway officials, employees and members of the public to make cleanliness a regular practice and contribute actively towards maintaining clean railway stations and public spaces. She also called upon everyone to work towards fulfilling the vision of ‘Swachh Bharat, Viksit Bharat’ through sustained efforts and responsible participation.
