The station serves a large number of daily commuters, including students and faculty of the nearby Kalyani University. The station also caters to visitors attending the local Sati Mayer Mela. These improvements are expected to benefit all regular users of the station.

The Amrit Bharat Station Scheme covers modernization work at 1,275 stations nationwide, with an expected completion timeline of six months, as stated by Eastern Railway General Manager Milind K. Deouskar. Stations that have completed work are being inaugurated progressively to provide early benefits to passengers. Kalyani Ghoshpara is the first station in West Bengal to reach this milestone.
