Which plan was drawn in 1943 as a serious attempt for the development of road transport in India? |
Kanpur Plan Nagpur Plan Mumbai Plan Ahmedabad Plan |
Nagpur Plan |
The correct answer is Option (2) → Nagpur Plan TRoad transport in modern sense was very limited in India before World War-II. The first serious attempt was made in 1943 when ‘Nagpur Plan’ was drawn. This plan could not be implemented due to lack of coordination among the princely states and British India. After Independence, twenty-year road plan (1961) was introduced to improve the conditions of roads in India. However, roads continue to concentrate in and around urban centres. |
