Q.15. Discuss the problems of road transport development in Assam.
Ans :- Most of the Indian roads are unsurfaced (42.65%) and are suitable for use of vehicular traffic. One major problem on the Indian roads is the mixing of traffic. There are multiple check-posts, toll tax and octoroon duties collection points on the roads which bring down the speed of the traffic, waste time and cause irritation to transporters. There is very little participation of the private sector in road development in India because of long gestation periods and low-returns.
Q.16. Discuss why coordination in different means of transport is essential.
Ans :- Greater access to transportation services for people with disabilities, older adults, and individuals with lower incomes begins with a coordination plan. Elements of a plan include (1) an inventory and assessment of available transportation resources and community and customer needs: (2) goals and strategies for meeting those needs, including better coordination of existing services, development of a “family of transportation services,” and a mechanism to measure progress; and (3) a means to share and coordinate resources. A well-designed plan also prioritizes transportation services based on the availability of funding resources and the feasibility of implementation.

Q.1. Why Assam is called the mini India?
Ans :- ASSAM is a miniature India, a veritable melting pot of diverse races, creeds, cultures and religions making it an anthropologist’s delight Many of the principal races of the world migrated to this region in course of time. But due to its geo-political remoteness, the rest of the world knows very little of Assam. It is in this state the famous game reserve at Kaziranga is located, where people from the world over come to meet the celebrated one-horned India rhinoceros. Manas is another such location famous for the last bastions of the Golden Languor (now on the verge of extinction). Its tea, of course, is very famous all over the world.
The mighty Brahmaputra, the holy temple of Kamakhya, oil fields ete, are few images conjured up whenever Assam is mentioned. Culturally Assamese Bihu and Satriya dances are a part of great Indian national heritage. This state, along with Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya and Tripura; with which it has close cultural and other affinities; forms the eastern most sector of India, having borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh. Its physical geography is one of the most fascinating in the country, with its extremely rich landscape, endless tracts of dense green forests, its blue mountains, lush grassy plains, and its deep, wide, rapid rivers.

The Tibeto-Burman language speaking Mongoloid people came from Tibet and South-East Asia. It is perhaps in the first few centuries before Christ that immigrants from the westie Gargetic valley started settling in the Brahmaputra and Barak plains in small numbers. They were of a caucasoid racial group speaking Indo-Aryan Language.
