Passengers traveling for employment, education, business, and family reasons will especially benefit from this rail service. Currently, a weekly train service operates from Ajmer to Darbhanga. This new rail service (six days a week) will benefit passengers.
Jaipur is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, tourist destinations, and industrial development, while Darbhanga is a major center of Mithila culture, education, and historical significance.
