Roads carry 85% of passenger traffic in India but are congested and of poor quality, while rail networks face capacity constraints. Transportation challenges also include road accidents, inefficient ports, and poor rural connectivity. The government is taking steps like increasing funding, developing national highways, and promoting electric vehicles and green transportation. Moving forward, India needs intelligent transportation systems, awareness of green habits, and to focus on resilience, equity, and sustainability in developing transportation that supports economic growth while reducing emissions.
India’s urban population is currently around 30% of its total population. Experience across the world has been that as economies grow, rapid urbanization takes this proportion to over 60% before it begins to stabilize. As such, it is projected that India’s urban population would grow to about 473 million in 2021 and 820 million by 2051, as against only 285 million in 2001. Hence, cities must not only meet the mobility needs of the current population but also provide for the needs of those yet to join the urban population.
Urban Logistics offers unique tailor-made solutions for the transport of goods in cities by consolidating & rationalizing the existing logistics platforms and creating innovative solutions for the future through the use of information and communication technologies.
Over the past two decades delivering goods into cities has become a challenge with cities getting overly congested and traffic jams resulting in expensive logistics bottlenecks. Studies show that the cost of congestion now in terms of time wasted in traffic and fuel consumption is off the roof, almost 200% more than what it was in the 1980s. Pollution, lack of parking bays, and warehousing costs are all restraints that are contributing to the economic cost of urban logistics.
This presentation, part of a class work of Erwan Le Roc'h, Antony Zouzout and Rémi Philippe at ESSEC will explore the possibilities and ideal mix for this kind of project.

Inland Water Transportation is an inter-modal transportation for moving goods and passengers.
There are 14,500 km of navigable waterways in India. Out of these, about 5,700 km is navigable by mechanized vessels.
Share of IWT in transportation in India is far lower as compared with many other countries which have exploited the benefits of IWT.
The IWT modal share in Netherlands is 42%, France 15%, Hungary 15%, Germany 14%, Belgium 13% and in US 15%.
Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) is the statutory authority in charge of the waterways in India. Its headquarters is located in Noida, UP. It does the function of building the necessary infrastructure in these waterways, surveying the economic feasibility of new projects and also administration.
National Waterways come under purview of Central Government and Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), whereas other waterways are under the control of the state governments.
Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy.
Today in the country we have a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air.
Being a vast country India needs efficient and cheap transportation system
Challenges
The major challenges facing the sector are:
India’s roads are congested and of poor quality. Lane capacity is low - most national highways are two lanes or less. A quarter of all India's highways are congested. Many roads are of poor quality and road maintenance remains under-funded - only around one-third of maintenance needs are met. This leads to the deterioration of roads and high transport costs for users. Rural Bike
Rural areas have poor access. Roads are significant for the development of the rural areas - home to almost 70 percent of India's population. Although the rural road network is extensive, some 33 percent of India’s villages do not have access to all-weather roads and remain cut off during the monsoon season. The problem is more acute in India's northern and northeastern states which are poorly linked to the country’s major economic centers.
The railways are facing severe capacity constraints. All the country’s high-density rail corridors face severe capacity constraints. Also, freight transportation costs by rail are much higher than in most countries as freight tariffs in India have been kept high to subsidize passenger traffic.
Urban centres are severely congested. In Mumbai, Delhi and other metropolitan centers, roads are often severly congested during the rush hours. The dramatic growth in vehicle ownership during the past decade - has reduced rush hour speeds especially in the central areas of major cities.
Ports are congested and inefficient. Port traffic has more than doubled during the 1990s, touching 650 million tons in 2006-07. This is expected to grow further to about 900 million tons by 2011-12. India's ports need to significantly ramp up their capacity and efficiency to meet this surging demand.
Airport infrastructure is strained. Air traffic has been growing rapidly leading to severe strain on infrastructure at major airports, especially in the Delhi and Mumbai airports which account for more than 40 percent of nation’s air traffic.

This document gives a brief summary of the discussions that shed light on the progress of e-mobility in India, pressing challenges that lie ahead and the way forward for e-mobility in the country. Experts also discussed the technology driven trends faced by the Indian market and how these will impact mobility behaviour in India.
A study of sustainable transportation system in ahmedabad and delhiIJARIIT
This paper on sustainable urban transport attempts to overview an all-inclusive set of indicators which are taken up
by planners, authorities in order to help cities for developing an integrated and sustainable transportation system. Developing
countries like India, where unplanned urbanization and unparalleled growth in motorization have led to increased focus on
sustainable use of mass transit systems like commuter rails and bus transportation. An integrated transportation strategy is
most needed so that these modes of transport are integrated efficiently to facilitate the sustainable transportation. The vision of
planners is to ensure easy access, safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable and sustainable mobility for all sections of the
society in our cities. The present transport system in most of the Indian cities is stressed under an urban environment which is
made up of different sub-systems. Hence it is obvious to understand how these sub systems perform in order to have a
sustainable mass-transit transportation network. The various modes of urban transportation – BRTS, Metro, Bicycle-sharing,
usage of CNG fuels – currently available in the city of Ahmedabad and Delhi are discussed in the paper in the context of
urban transport characteristics, public transport, and non-motorized transport. For promoting sustainable urban transport in a
holistic manner it is equally important to understand the social, economic and environmental sustainability of each of these
sub-systems.
India is one of the fastest growing economies in Asia and the entire world. Especially in the transport and logistics industry sector, India shows superior growth rates creating enhanced potential for foreign players. The objective of this summary is to identify the market potential as well as the current demand in this sector and to point out the investment perspectives, especially for European players. Certainly, climate change affects these prospects. Hence, this summary exposes the current Indian situation and the main challenges contributing to this. But despite these problems and also resulting from these, India offers a high potential for investments as the current studies have already shown.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. INTRODUCTION:
Transport is a means of carrying goods and people from one place to another. It helps in removing
the distance barrier.
The transport system in India comprises a number of distinct modes and services , such as railways,
road transport, ports, water transport, coastal shipping, pipelines and so on.
India's transport sector is large and diverse; it caters to the needs of 1.1 billion people. Since the
early 1990s, India's growing economy has witnessed a rise in demand for transport infrastructure
and services.
Unsustainable transport activities can produce widespread negative impacts like degradation of air
quality, green house gas emissions , increased threat of global climate change and habitat loss of
animals and fragmentation.
Therefore, there is a need to pay greater attention to sustainable or green transport at city, state,
national level as the way forward for India’s mobility sector.
4. Road transport
Roads are the most dominant mode of transportation in India today. They carry almost 85% of the
country’s passenger traffic. Road transport also helps the industrial sector by moving raw materials to
to industries and finished goods to market.
Ports and shipping
India has 13 major ports along its more than 7500 km long coastline. Ports play a very significant
role in improving foreign trade in growing Indian economy.
Railway
It is called as lifeline of India which provides both freight and passenger mode of transportation.
India’s railway network is the 4th largest railway network in the world.
Civil Aviation
The civil Aviation industry in India has emerged as one of the fastest growing industries in the
country. India has become the 3rd largest domestic aviation market in the world and is expected to
overtake UK to become the 3rd largest air passenger market by 2024.
5. CHALLENGES:
Major challenges facing the sector are:
• India’s roads are congested and of poor quality. Lane capacity is low – majority of national highways
are two lanes or less. A quarter of all India's highways are congested.
• Rural areas have poor access. Roads are significant for the development of the rural areas - home to
almost 70 percent of India's population. Although the rural road network is extensive, some 33 percent
of India’s villages do not have access to all-weather roads and remain cut off during the monsoon
season.
• Road accidents are increasing day by day. India has 1% of the world’s vehicles but accounts for 11% of
all road crash deaths . According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways 2020 : speeding
accounted for 69.3% of deaths , non wearing of helmets resulted in 30.1% deaths, non use of seatbelts
caused 11.5% of deaths.
• The railways are facing severe capacity constraints. All the country’s high-density rail corridors face
severe capacity constraints.
6. • Ports are congested and inefficient. The average annual growth of cargo volume in the ports
in the last decade was close to 10%, However, capacity utilization in some of the major ports
remain as low as 58-60%.
• Poor regional connectivity, inadequate hanger space and lack of land for airport expansions
are some of the key constraints of airways transportation. Also because of high central and
state taxes , aviation fuel in India is approximately 60% more expensive than it is in ASEAN
and the Middle East Countries.
• The growing number of vehicles in Indian cities is viewed as the essential driver of climate
change. Urban transportation is the second leading source of carbon dioxide emissions due
to its dependency on fossil fuels.
• Transport sector has been recognized as a primary cause of habitat loss and a subsequent
decline in biodiversity. Expansion of roads ,railways ,airways network creates fragmentation
and degradation of habitat.
8. KEY GOVERNMENT STRATEGIES:
Increasing public funding for transportation in its Five Year Plans.
Launching the ambitious National Highway Development Program which has seven phases and is
expected to be completed by 2012. It includes improved connectivity between Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai
and Kolkata, popularly called the Golden Quadrilateral
Accelerated Road Development Program for the North East Region to provide road connectivity to all
State capitals and district headquarters in the North East region.
Improving rural access by launching the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (Prime Minister’s Rural Roads
Program).
Upgrading infrastructure and connectivity in the country's twelve major ports by initiating the National
Maritime Development Program (NMDP).
Privatization and expansion of the Mumbai and New Delhi Airports and development of new
international airports at Hyderabad and Bangalore.
9. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has launched Onboard Driver Assistance
and Warning System (ODAWS).It incorporates vehicle borne sensors for monitoring driver
propensity and vehicle surroundings to deliver acoustic and visual alerts for driver assistance.
The Sagarmala Programme was approved by the Union Cabinet in 2015 which aims at holistic port
infrastructure development along the 7516 km long coastline through modernisation,
mechanization and computerization.
National Electric Mobility Mission:2020 aims to achieve national fuel security by promoting hybrid
and electric vehicles in the country. The primary objectives are – achieve national energy security ,
mitigation of the adverse impact of vehicles on the environment and growth of domestic
manufacturing capabilities in the automobile sector.
11. WAY FORWARD:
What Should be the Way Forward?
Intelligent Transportation System (ITS):
There is a need to shift towards an intelligent transport system to enable users to be better informed
and make safer, more coordinated, and 'smarter' use of transport networks.
Example: Intelligent traffic management, V2X communication, Electric toll collection.
Awareness Towards Green Travel Habits:
It is necessary to launch intensive awareness campaigns that educate people on the ill effects of the
growing transport problems. Promoting greater use of non motorized vehicles, proper maintenance
of their vehicles, safer driving practices, etc.
Such campaigns will encourage individuals, families and communities to adopt “Green Travel
Habits” that would make travel less polluting and damaging.
12. WAY FORWARD(contd.)
Resilience, Equity, and Sustainability in Transport (REST):
Resilience: There is a need to rethink and restore confidence in public transport, including the procurement of more
buses, the adoption of e-buses, bus corridors and bus rapid transit systems with digitalization of public transport.
Equity: Last mile road and railway connectivity should be at priority with special attention to the north east region.
Sustainability: Emission norms should be tightened and electric vehicles should be promoted, as well as biofuels should
replace fossil fuels.
The development of several electric freight corridors to promote electrification is also crucial to reaping the benefits of electric vehicles.
Manufacturing Hub in Green Mobility:
With proper policy support, industry action, market generation, increased investor interest and acceptance, India can
position itself as a low-cost, zero-carbon manufacturing hub in green mobility at the same time fulfilling its goal
of economic development, job creation, and improved public health.
