Indian Railways

Long term project - with some pilot runs announced at New Delhi, Patna Jn, KSR Bengaluru and a few other major stations. Will probably take over a decade to construct all the necessary infra (lounges, large no of waiting halls etc) across all the important stations.
Major railway stations category A are under redevelopment and railway should incorporate this in designs now. NDLS CSMT KSR Secunderabad Ahmedabad and many A grade stations can become restricted access to platforms from concourse. You can’t build world class railway stations and let restricted access to create chaos on platforms. Print QR code on tickets and let passengers scan and enter ok to platforms should be the medium in future.
 
How they implemented ? is some gated scanner like metro ??

ideally, treat every railway station as an airport, minus few of the restrictions and checks, plus few more facilities and services.

That's all you need to do.

So somebody must be at gate that will ensures existence of valid ticket.

How will it possible at railway station, looking at civic sense.

At airport people itself put up at queue.

Everything looks tough when the change you are trying to bring is a huge one.

Point is, we must bring in these changes.
We have no other choice but to bring in these changes.

Alternative is chaos and loss of life.
 
Indian railway not pursuing it as no budget for this year is allocated. Though the idea is good and can be implemented around metro cities.
Why, tho? I do not worry about budget allocations too much because those can be altered anytime. There are even rumors of them designing and prototyping modified VB metro for replacing the local trains of Mumbai and beyond.

IR is undertaking a long term project here - will require a lot of tweaks and modifications on our usual station designs. Major changes won't be visible up until several years from now.
