Introduction India’s transport sector is large and diverse, it caters to the transport needs of 1.1 billion people. In 2012-2013, the sector contributed about 5.2 per cent to the nation’s GDP, with road transportation having a major share of it.1 Good physical connectivity in urban and rural areas is essential for economic growth. Since the early 1990s, India's growing economy has witnessed a rise in demand for transport infrastructure and services. Efficient and reliable urban transport systems are crucial for India to sustain high economic growth. The significance of urban transport in India stems from the role that it plays in reduction of poverty, by improving access to labour markets and thus increasing incomes in poorer communities (Antonio Estache, 2007). Services and manufacturing industries particularly concentrate around major urban areas, and require efficient and reliable urban transport systems to move workers and connect production facilities to the logistics chain. Mobility flows have become a key dynamic in the rapid urbanisation process of Indian cities with urban transport infrastructure constituting the skeleton of the urban form (Amin et al., 2013). Despite the increasing levels of urban mobility in Indian cities, access to places, activities and services is becoming increasingly difficult in terms of convenience, cost and time. In fact, present levels of urban mobility are already generating a crisis situation characterized by high levels of congestion, environmental pollution, traffic fatalities and inequity eventually leading to a situation of undesired accessibility crisis (Pucher et al., 2005). With over a quarter of India’s urban population below the poverty line, the mobility problems of the poor are of special concern (C Rangarajan et al., 2014). The unaffordability of private transport or the lack of public transit options forces this segment of the urban population to walk or cycle increasingly long distances, and, consequently, suffer severe pollution. As Indian cities continue to spread outward, those residents too poor to afford motorised transport will be increasingly put at a disadvantage, and further cut off from employment, recreational, educational, medical and other activity sites they need to access in the city. In spite of the large diversity in the urban size, form and growth patterns of the 468 cities in India, there are several common factors that contribute to the severity of urban transport problems. Within the scope of this study, the main objectives are as follows: To review the key trends in urban India that translate into negative externalities or problems in urban transportation; To identify major challenges that influence effective policy formulation and implementation in this sector; To review existing policy and programs in the urban transport sector in India;

  • Howrah Bridge and Second Hooghly Bridge: a Comprehensive Comparative Study
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 4, Issue 9, September-2013 243 ISSN 2229-5518 Howrah Bridge and Second Hooghly Bridge: A Comprehensive Comparative Study 1Arnab Chakraborty, 2Ritaja Ray Abstract: The Howrah Bridge and Second Hooghly Bridge has been serving the city of Kolkata in conjunction with each other by allowing the city to be well connected with the rest of the state and indeed the rest of the country. The bridges by themselves, the former being of balanced- cantilever form and the latter being cable-stayed, are marvels of bridge engineering with each being built in very different eras with tremendous variation in the technology that had been employed, all to serve the one purpose of improving communication and traffic conditions by releasing some of the volume exerted on each due to daily movement. The main issue of this research is to make a comparative review of the two bridges, mainly from strict technical points of views and also from the social and economic factors that arise out of them. The structural configurations, foundation characteristics, construction techniques and maintenance issues have been extensively discussed. Relevant statistical facts relating to traffic volume on the bridges and illustrations have been provided as and when required to verify some of the facts that has been discussed.

  • Transportation Costs, Commodity and Agricultural Prices in Rural
    International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS), 2014, Vol 1, No 5, 108-113. 108 Available online at http://www.ijims.com ISSN: 2348 – 0343 Road Connectivity: Transportation Costs, Commodity and Agricultural prices in Rural Meghalaya Lyngdoh, Shailynti1 and Mawiong, Sainkupar2 1 Department of Economics, Saint Mary’s College, Shillong, Meghalaya, India 2 Department of Basic Sciences & Social Sciences, North Eastern Hill University, Shillong, Meghalaya, India * Corresponding Author: Lyngdoh, Shailynti Abstract Road connectivity is the backbone of the economy of any nation. India being a developed country faces many challenges in the field of Economic and Social development. Improvement of living standards of the rural populace can be achieved by having well connected networks of roads to various nooks and corners of all existing villages. In this paper we will show that nonexistence of good and well maintained road has detrimental effects on the economy of the rural areas of some of the districts in Meghalaya. We will stress our study more on the effect on Transportation cost and Agricultural Prices which are the two main components of the rural economy which are directly affected by nonexistence of Road. Keywords: Road Connectivity, Infrastructure, Dispersion, Transportation cost Introduction India’s economy is predominantly rural in character. This is evident from the fact that in 2001, nearly 72 percent of its population lived in its nearly 6.38 Lakh villages and about 52 percent of its workforce was engaged in agriculture and allied activities in rural areas28.Mahatma Gandhi, the father of our nation, declared in the beginning of the twentieth century that the soul of India lives in its Village15.

  • Transport and Communication System
    Paper 603 Unit 1: North-East India Transport and Communication System Transport and communication is an important element of infrastructure, based on which the progress of a region may take place. Till date, the North- Eastern region presents a dismal picture in terms of transportation networks. It has the lowest road and railway density in the country. Inadequate road and rail links have left many areas inaccessible and their great potential in forest products, cash corps, hydropower, animal husbandry and tourism remain unexploited. There are some physical and socio-economic causes for the backwardness of transport and communication in the region. 1) Two-third of the region is under hills, mountain and plateaus, where laying of roads and railways is a very expensive and difficult proposition. 2) North-East India is linked with the mainland of India through a narrow corridor on the west and this has caused difficulties in the expansion of transport network. 3) As the region experiences heavy rainfall for more than 6 months of a year, the roads and railways suffer from surface and gully erosion. Therefore, to be constantly repaired and maintained in serviceable condition of the roads and railway lines, needing a huge expenditure. 4) The region, especially its plains, annually experiences devastating floods which often breach and damage roads and railway lines. 5) Due to numerous turbulent rivers and hill streams in the region , the roads and railway lines need to be frequently bridged and many culverts, retention walls, spurs, etc. have to be constructed needing labour and huge expenditure. 6) Apart from tea and oil industries, there is practically no large industry in the region.

  • The Crisis of Public Transport in India
    The Crisis of Public Transport in India The Crisis of Public Transport in India: Overwhelming Needs but Limited Resources John Pucher and Nisha Korattyswaroopam, Rutgers University Neenu Ittyerah, Indian Railways, Chennai, India Abstract The rapid growth of India’s urban population has put enormous strains on all trans- port systems. Burgeoning travel demand far exceeds the limited supply of transport infrastructure and services. Public transport, in particular, has been completely over- whelmed. Most bus and train services are overcrowded, undependable, slow, incon- venient, uncoordinated, and dangerous. Moreover, the public ownership and opera- tion of most public transport services has greatly reduced productivity and inflated costs. India’s cities desperately need improved and expanded public transport ser- vice. Unfortunately, meager government financial assistance and the complete lack of any supportive policies, such as traffic priority for buses, place public transport in an almost impossible situation. Introduction Public transport faces severe problems in almost all countries of the developing world, although the situation varies from one country to another, and even from one city to another (Vasconcellos 2001). Perhaps most important, the lack of fi- nancial resources prevents necessary investments in maintaining and upgrading 95 Journal of Public Transportation, Vol. 7, No. 3, 2004 existing bus and rail systems and building new ones. Likewise, many advanced tech- nologies long available in Western Europe are simply not affordable in most devel- oping countries. Public transport systems in the Third World are plagued by chronic corruption and inefficiency, overcrowded and undependable service, congested roadways that slow down buses, and an operating environment that is often cha- otic and completely uncoordinated.

The life and death struggle that preceded this formalisation of British control lasted nearly two years, cost £36 million, and is variously referred to as the 'Great Rebellion', the 'Indian Mutiny' or the 'First War of Indian Independence'. 1 Inevitably, the consequences of this bloody rupture marked the nature of political, social and economic rule that the British established in its wake. It is important to note that the Raj (in Hindi meaning 'to rule' or 'kingdom') never encompassed the entire land mass of the sub-continent.
