Govindpuri (Hindi:गोविंदपुरी) or Kanpur South is a railway station in Kanpur which caters 50,000 passengers to their destinations. It is second busiest railway station in Kanpur, after Kanpur Central.
Strictly speaking by definition, it is the JUNCTION where Jhansi/Banda line is separated from Delhi-Howrah Line; however, it is not granted JUNCTION status yet due to which it has two station codes, GOV and GOY.
It is located near Govind Nagar locality in Kanpur South. A rail overbridge is also there (bearing the same name), which remains congested throughout the day.
Due to proximity to Juhi yard, the station was called Juhi till the 1970s. Then as urban agglomeration in South Kanpur increased, the station was renamed Govindpuri due to proximity to Govind Nagar, a locality named and inaugurated by Govind Vallabh Pant.
