‘Mother Express’

Railways to Launch ‘Mother Express’ to Commemorate the Birth Centenary of Mother Teresa In a special gesture, Indian Railways have decided to run an exhibition train named ‘Mother Express’ to commemorate the birth centenary of Mother Teresa, the noted missionary social worker. Mother Teresa was a Catholic nun who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata and who worked tirelessly in the service of the poor, sick, orphaned and destitute for over 47 years.

The ‘Mother Express’- a tribute from Indian Railways - would showcase life and philanthropic deeds of this great soul who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India’s highest civilian honour, the ‘Bharat Ratna’ in 1980 for her humanitarian work.
