Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, has recently shared his plans of making more Indian train stations Wi-Fi ready. He has noted that there is still more than a billion of his fellow Indians who have not been connected online.

It was previously confirmed by Tech Crunch that Pichai wants to bring Wi-Fi - for absolutely no added costs - to the 10 million passengers who ride trains on a daily basis. Pichai's recent Wi-Fi-related plans were inspired by his own childhood train-riding experiences. Apparently, he had to use the Chennai Central Station every day in order to go to his school.

Pichai wants to give his people immensely quick broadband connections so that they can personally experience the best of the World Wide Web.

Pichai made the official announcement at the same time Narendra Modi, the Prime Minster of India, paid the Google's headquarters in the United States a visit. "We announced a new project to provide high speed public Wi-Fi in 400 train stations across India," he announced on Google Blog.

Google is not the only massive tech company that Modi had visited during the past few weeks. In addition to Google, Modi also visited Facebook, among others. Each of the companies that Modi visited, however, had its own plans of bringing the Internet to even more people today. Pichai's plans, though, were reporteldy the most unique.

"This will rank it as the largest public Wi-Fi project in India - and among the largest in the word - by number of potential users," Pichai added. "It will also be fast - many times faster than what most people in India have access to today. This will allow the passengers to do a lot of things while they are waiting to arrive to their destination."

To bring free Wi-Fi to 400 train stations in India, Google will be working very closely with RailTel and Indian Railways.
