The station name was Waini railway station. Later it was named Pusa road Waini after establishing Dr Rajendra Prasad Agriculture University in Pusa. After few years Waini removed and known as Pusa Road for a long. After 1990s this station got renamed as Khudiram Bose Pusa Railway Station to honour the youngest Indian revolutionary freedom fighter to be executed by the British, Bengali revolutionary Khudiram Bose, who was caught here by two armed constables.
