why are the means of transportation and communication called the lifelines of a Nation
Answers
Answer:
The means of transportation and communication are called the lifelines of a nation and its economy because they are the pre-requisites for the development of a country. They help to develop active links between different regions. This facilitates transportation of goods and services from production units to the demand locales. Fast-developing communication channels between different countries of the world has given rise to the Globalisation. Today, India is well-linked with the rest of the world which has been possible only due to transport and communication. Railways, airways, waterways, television, radio, newspapers, internet, etc., have contributed vastly to the socio-economic progress of our country. They have also added substantially to growing amenities and facilities improving our lifestyles.
