Transportation in India is a large and varied sector of the economy. Modes of conveyance for transport of goods in India range from people's heads (on which loads are balanced) and bicycle rickshaws to trucks and railroad cars. The national railroad was the major freight hauler at independence, but road transport in India grew rapidly after 1947. Both rail and road transport remains important.

Regional Transport Authorities are primarily concerned with keeping a control on transport vehicles by granting them permits.  Transport Commissioner is a member of the State Transport Authority and Joint Transport Commissioner function as Secretary of the State Transport Authority, similarly the Regional Transport Officers functions as Secretaries of the Respective Regional Transport Authorities.  The Secretary of the Authority is responsible for giving effect to the decisions taken by the authority. .

India, the land to travel to, a haven of tourism delights, a civilization to tour through. Tourists come to India for its wealth of sights, cultural exuberance, diversity of terrain and in search of that special something, an extra punch that only India promises and delivers. Teeming with over a billion people who voice over a million concerns in fifteen hundred different languages, India is where people live with variety, thrive on diversity and are too familiar with largeness to let it boggle them. Mud huts and mansions face off across city streets. Lurid luxury and limp living are inhabitants of the same lane.
