@**When I was a student, I relished the day long railway journey I would make from Chennai Central station © to IIT Kharagpur,** Google*s CEO Sundar Pichai said.// **I vividly remember the frenetic energy at the various stations along the way and marveled at the incredible scale and scope of Indian Railways.//**
@The initiative was announced by Pichai as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the company*s headquarters in Silicon Valley.// Google was just one of the stops on Modi*s Silicon© Valley trip, which also included a town hall meeting at Facebook*s headquarters with Mark Zuckerberg.//
@The project*s initial aim is to connect the first 100 stations by the end of 2016, which will make Wi Fi available for the more than 10 million people who pass through these stations every day with the eventual goal to connect up to 400 stations.// This will be the largest public Wi Fi © project in India and among the largest in the world, by number of potential users.//
