Why Are Efficient Means of Transport Pre-Requisites for the Fast Development of the Country? Explain.

Transport and communication are the basic arteries of a nation’s economy because:

1. Economic development of a region or a country very largely depends upon the dense network of transport and communication.
2. They link areas of production with consumption, agriculture with industry and village with towns and cities.
3. They help the industry by providing raw materials and distribution of finished goods.
4. They help in the development of all the three sectors: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary.
5. They help in the balanced regional development.
