Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Road connectivity is the backbone of the economy of any nation. India being a developed country faces many challenges in the field of Economic and Social development. Improvement of living standards of the rural populace can be achieved by having well connected networks of roads to various nooks and corners of all existing villages. In this paper we will show that nonexistence of good and well maintained road has detrimental effects on the economy of the rural areas of some of the districts in Meghalaya. We will stress our study more on the effect on Transportation cost and Agricultural Prices which are the two main components of the rural economy which are directly affected by nonexistence of Road.
