Notably, Darjeeling Himalayan Railway had been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 2nd December 1999 following appeal by Indian Railways. It was the second railway in Asia to be inscribed as World Heritage Site. Nilgiri Mountain Railway in 2005 and Kalka Shimla Railway in 2008 were also declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Together with Darjeeling Himalayan Railway these are called UNESCO’s ‘Mountain Railways of India World Heritage Site’.

UNSECO has agreed to develop such a Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan (CCMP) incorporating all aspects of heritage conservation as well as maintain DHR as an Operational Railway. The signing of Fund-in-Trust (FIT) is the preliminary step for realisation of the plan. Under the FIT agreement, Indian Railway will pay 533,332 USD in Indian Rupees to UNESCO for assisting the Ministry of Railways, in facilitating the preparatory stage of the development of a CCMP and establishing the framework for an effective management system.

Suresh Prabhu thanked the people of the Darjeeling Hills for being an integral part of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Eco-system and their efforts in preserving and conserving it. Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Agriculture and Farmers Welfare S. S. Ahluwalia and Chief of Gorkhaland Territorial Council Bimal Gurung were also present at the agreement-signing ceremony. Senior official of the Railway Ministry, Railway Board members, other N. F. Railway officials including the General Manager Chahatey Ram were also present.
