Transportation and communication have made our life prosperous and comfortable in the following ways:
(i) Because of transport, raw materials reach the factory and finished products reach to consumers. The pace of development of a country depends upon the production of goods and services as well as their movement over time. Therefore, efficient means of transport are a pre requisite for fast development.
(ii) Apart from transport, the ease and mode of communications, like mobiles, internet, and Wi-Fi makes seamless flow of information possible.
(iii) Today, India is well linked with the rest of world despite its vast size, diversity and linguistic and socio-cultural plurality. Railways, airways, waterways, newspaper, radio, television, cinema and internet have been contributing to its socio-economic progress in many ways. The trade from local to international level has added to the vitality of its economy. It has enriched our life and has substantially added to growing amenities and facilities for the comforts of life.
