wirte note on air transport and water way in india
Answers
Answer:
Air Transport System
Proper attention must also be given at the same time to air transport as another means of national and international communication. India possesses some natural advantages in this respect and they have to be fully exploited for development of airways.
The Government is taking a keen interest in the expansion of civil aviation not only for its importance as a means of transport but also because of its strategic value in the matter of national defense. There are also a large number of aerodromes in the country.
Waterways
Water transport is the oldest and cheapest form of transport. It is one of the most important external and internal means of transport in all the civilized countries of the world. It is useful for the carriage of bulky and heavy goods.
In India, we have many great river systems. However, they are unevenly distributed, some of them are fully utilized for irrigation purposes, and some others are naturally unfit for navigation.
In some parts of India, however, waterways are still extensively used for navigation purposes.
In India, more navigable rivers and canals should be made. And, a systematic policy for the development of the inland water transport should be pursued.
The question of shipping has also great importance in a country like India with a large coastline.
