Assam being the gateway to the other States of the North Eastern Region of the Country, the need for development of transport and communication sector in the State is of vital important for speedy economic development of the region. Due to its geographical isolation transport has been a major bottleneck in the process of economic progress of the State. The existing infrastructures and facilities of transport and communication in the State are hardly adequate enough to meet the requirements. The State is no doubt served by all the modern means of transport viz., roads, railways, waterways and airways but there is enough scope for further improvement of the facilities. The position of the State with regard to the existing means of transport and communications is described briefly in the following paragraph.
