We can travel from one corner
of the country to another in a
few hours. We can
communicate with people living
thousands of kilometres away
in seconds. All these have
been made possible by
modern means of transport
and communication.

Early humans travelled on foot.
Then they invented the wheel and
started making carts. These were
pulled by animals. However, these
were slow modes of transport.
Today there are fast modes of
transport which can cover longer
distances in very less time. India
has a well-developed network of
transport.

Our country has a large network of roads.
The roads are either metalled or
unmetalled. Most roads in cities and
towns are metalled. They are made of
stone, cement and tar. Unmetalled roads
are generally found in villages.
