What is the significance of the lifelines of national economy? They are rightly called the lifelines or arteries of a nation because economic development of a country depends on the well developed and efficient means of transport and communication. They are indispensable for movement of people, goods and services from one place to another. Tourism, means of transportation and communication are the life line of Indian economy. Everything that helps our country to develop are the lifelines of Indian economy such as railways, roadways, waterways, airports and highways. Roads play a very important role in the transportation of goods and passengers for short and medium distances. Road transport system establishes easy contact between farms, fields, factories and markets and provides door to door service. Roads can negotiate high gradients and sharp turns which railways cannot do.
