Q1 of 28 Page 68

State whether right or wrong with reasons:

The indicator of development in a country is the development of transport in that country.

No, the statement is wrong. The development of the transport network is not an indicator of development in a country. Transport facilities also play an important role in development, but it is not the ultimate indicator. Factors such as national income and per capita income are the main determinant of development in a country. Brazil, a county having less developed transport network has a higher per capita income than India, a country having much better transportation network. Thus, the development of transportation is not an important determinant of development.
