Tramjatra (tram’s journey)

About:

• It seeks to educate the younger generation about climate change, air pollution and sustainable development.
• It will also call upon the West Bengal government to preserve the historic mode of transport.
• It is a moving tram carnival that was started back in 1996 jointly by enthusiasts from Melbourne and Kolkata.
• At the time, Kolkata, the only Indian city where the tram still runs, was home to about two dozen routes. Today, the number of routes that remain operational has shrunk to just two. 
• The theme of the 2023 Tramjatra will be Heritage, Clean Air and Green Mobility.
