Using advanced technology like a 270-degree screen and holographic displays, the centre educates visitors on India’s logistics and transportation initiatives. PM Gati Shakti integrates infrastructure projects across ministries, ensuring seamless connectivity, improved last-mile logistics, and reduced travel time, fostering economic growth and development.
