Explain with examples. (Delhi 2016)<br \/>\nOR<br \/>\n\u2018The distribution of roads is not uniform in India.\u2019 Support this statement with suitable arguments. (HOTS: Delhi 2015)<br \/>\nOR<br \/>\nExplain With five suitable examples, how the level of economic development and nature of terrain affect the density of roads in India. (Delhi 2013)<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nNature of terrain and level of economic development affect the density of roads in the following ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Construction of roads in plains is easy and cheaper than compare to hilly and mountainous areas, that\u2019s why Indo-Gangetic plains have a high density of roads.<\/li>\n<li>Difficult terrain, the thick forest does not provide, suitable conditions for the development of roads. That\u2019s the reason for having a low density of roads in Himalayan and North-Eastern region.<\/li>\n<li>Sandy soil is also a restriction in the development of roads, that\u2019s the reason for having less density of roads in Western Rajasthan.<\/li>\n<li>Economic development also affects the density of roads. Karnataka plateau and Maharashtra have a density of roads due to the high concentration of industries and urbanisation in these areas.<\/li>\n<li>A high density of 50-100 km (per 100 sq km) of the area is also found in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh of Northern Plains. This is due to advanced agriculture, industry and urbanisation in these areas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Question 24.<br \/>\nWhich is the apex body in India to improve the quality of National Highways? Examine the significance of National Highways. (All India 2016)<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is the nodal agency responsible for building, upgrading and maintaining most of the national highways network. It operates under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.<\/p>\n<p>The significance of National Highways can be examined through the following points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>National Highways form the lifeline of road transport and constitute the framework of the road system in India.<\/li>\n<li>These roads are meant for inter-state and strategic defence movements.<\/li>\n<li>These also connect the state capitals, major cities, important ports, railway junctions, etc.<\/li>\n<li>The length of the National Highways has increased from 19,700 km in 1951 to 70,934 km which is a good indicator of development in India.<\/li>\n<li>The National Highways constitute only 1.67% of the total road length but carry 40% of the road traffic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 25.<br \/>\nExamine the role of Inland Waterways Authority of India.<br \/>\nOR<br \/>\nExplain why inland water transport is an important mode of transport. (All Indio 2015)<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe role of Inland Waterways Authority of India can be understood through the following points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Inland Waterways Authority was set up in 1986.

Inland waterways are also significant for the promotion of tourism, e.g. the famous Nehru Trophy Boat Race (Vallamkali) which held every year in backwaters.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Question 26.<br \/>\n\u201cIndian railways brought people of diverse .cultures together.\u201d Support this statement with suitable examples. (HOTS; All Indio 2015)<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nFollowing points can explain the given statement:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Indian railway was introduced in 1853.<\/li>\n<li>Indian railways network is more than 64,000 km, thus one of the longest railway networks in the world.<\/li>\n<li>As India is a land of diverse cultures, it connects people of different regions through its sixteen zones.<\/li>\n<li>People from different languages with different customs and food habits could connect with each other using Indian railways.<\/li>\n<li>Generally, each state of India has a distinct culture and customs. When people travel from one state to another, they mostly use railways as a means of transport and thus meet different people having different culture and traditions.<\/li>\n<li>Not only within the states, but people also come into contact with foreigners who belong to other countries, having varying colours of different customs and practices. Thus, share their culture and customs with each other.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Question 27.<br \/>\nWhat are National Highways? Explain any four uses of National Highways in India. (Delhi 2013)<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe main roads which are constructed and maintained by the central government are known as the National Highways.<br \/>\nThe main uses of National Highways are given below:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>These roads are meant for inter-state and strategic defence movements.<\/li>\n<li>The National Highways constitute only 1.67% of the total road length but carry 40% of the road traffic.<\/li>\n<li>National Highways are most important for industrial development. Most of the industries use such a location where National Highways provide good connectivity for the easy movement of goods and commodities from the source region to market areas. Thus, National Highways are important as they give good connectivity of distant areas with ease.<\/li>\n<li>These also connect the state capitals, major cities, important ports, railways junctions, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Question 28.<br \/>\nDefine the term road density. Explain with examples the two main determinants of road density in India. (Delhi 2011)<br \/>\nOR<br \/>\nExplain with examples the two main determinants of road density in India. (Delhi 2011)<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe density of roads is defined as the length of roads per 100 sq km of surface area. It is a method to compare road network of an area to another area. The two determinants of road density in India are as follows:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nature of Terrain<\/strong> It directly affects the density of roads. The maximum concentration of roads is in the Northern Plains.<br \/>\nThe surface in plains is even and level. The North-Eastern states don\u2019t have good networks of roads due to difficult terrain. Large numbers of rivers due to heavy rainfall makes it necessary to construct a large number to bridges. Construction of roads is easily and comparatively cheaper in plains.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Level of Economic Development<\/strong> Uttar Pradesh has the highest density of roads i.e. 532 27 km in 100 sq km area. The density of over 100 km of road length per 100 sq km of areas is also found in Tamil Nadu. Karnataka Plateau and Maharashtra have also a high density of 50 to 100 sq km of road length per 100 sq km of area. This is because of the high concentration of industries and urbanisation in these areas Building material is locally available.<\/p>\n<p>The high density of roads is also found in Punjab and Haryana of Northern plain. This is due to advanced agriculture, industry and urbanisation in these areas. Building material is obtained from the Himalayan region. Large parts of Deccan plateau have a moderate density of roads.<\/p>\n<p>Question 29.<br \/>\nHow are Indian railways contributing to the growth of the national economy? Explain with examples (All India 2011)<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nIndia has one of the longest railway networks in the world. Indian railways virtually from the lifeline of India catering to its needs for large scale movement of traffic, both freight and passenger, thereby contribution to economic growth and also promoting national integration.<\/p>\n<p>Indian railways transport carries about 45849 lakh passengers and 4782 lakh tonnes of goods and travels over a distance of 14 lakh km every day. The number of passengers has risen from 1284 million in 1950-51 to 6219 million in 2006-07 and 7651 million in 2010-11. On average, 13 million people are loved every day by the Indian Railways.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the passenger traffic, the freight also increased tremendously. Development in industrial and agricultural sectors has generated a high demand for all transport. Major commodities transported by railways include coal, iron and steel ores, petroleum products and essential commodities such as food grains, fertilizers, cement, sugar, salt, edible oils, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Indian railways also contribute to the tourism sector by connecting hill stations, religious places and other important tourist attraction places. It is the largest government undertaking which provides employment to millions of people in India.<\/p>\n<p>Question 30.<br \/>\nWhat is the importance of air transport? Describe any four characteristics of the air transport system of India. (All India 2010)<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nAir transport facilitates the fastest movement of goods and passengers from one place to another place. It has reduced distances and converted the world into one unit. Air transport has great importance for a vast country like India where distances are large and the terrain and the climatic conditions are uneven throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important for our links with other countries. India occupies a central location between Western Europe and Africa on the one hand and South -East and East Asia on the other hand.<\/p>\n<p>Characteristics of the air transport system in India are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>To provide safe, efficient air traffic and aeronautical communication services in Indian space, there is a regulatory body known as Airport Authority of India.<\/li>\n<li>There are two corporations. Air India and Indian Airlines, which provide air services in India. Air India handles international traffic passengers and cargo whereas Indian Airlines is the major domestic air carrier of the country.<\/li>\n<li>In addition to Air India and Indian Airlines, there are two private scheduled airlines operating on the domestic network. 38 companies hold non- scheduled air taxi operators permit. The share of the private sector airways has increased very rapidly after liberalisation.<\/li>\n<li>Union government has launched an open sky policy in 1982. Under this policy, foreign airlines or association of exporters can bring any freighters to the country. Its objectives are to help exporters so that their exports become more competitive in the world.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Question 31.<br \/>\nWhat is the importance of water transport?
