Asia's First Woman Loco Pilot Now Runs Vande Bharat Express on Mumbai-Pune-Solapur Section

Surekha Yadav is Asia's first female locomotive driver.

She is now operating the Vande Bharat Express on the Mumbai-Pune-Solapur section.

Yadav has been working with the Indian Railways for over three decades.

She was the first woman to be hired by Central Railways in 1988.

Yadav faced gender-based discrimination early in her career but persisted.

She hopes to inspire more women to join the male-dominated field of locomotive driving.

The Vande Bharat Express is India's first semi-high speed fully air-conditioned train.
