(a): Modernisation/upgradation of Railway stations in Indian Railways  is  a  continuous  and  on-going  process.  This  has  been undertaken from time to time under various modernization schemes such as Model Station Scheme, Modern Station Scheme and Adarsh Station Scheme.  The development of stations under 'Model Station Scheme'  (June,  1999  to  November,  2008)  and  'Modern  Station Scheme' (2006-07 and 2007-08) had since been completed.

Further, upgradation of stations under Adarsh Station Scheme was started from 2009-10. Selection of Railway stations under this Scheme  is based on the identified need for upgradation of amenities. 1253 stations have been identified for development under Adarsh  station  Scheme  out  of  which  1149  railway  stations  have been developed so far and the remaining stations are planned to be developed by 2019-20.

(b)&(c):  Presently,  development  of  stations  under  'Adarsh'  Station Scheme including upgradation and maintenance of railway stations is undertaken through departmental means and outsourcing. Statewise  details  of  funds  allocated/spent  are  not  maintained.  The allocation/expenditure on works of modernization including development of stations under 'Adarsh' Station Scheme is generally funded under Plan Head - 'Passenger Amenities'.
