		<description>Actually the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways should come under Statistics.(MoShipping can be made separate and included under MoCommunications &amp; IT since both of them deal in ports).One of its primary responsibilities is to design MEDIANS according to road width to accommodate various MODES of transport over a wide RANGE of distances.Additionally they also decide on DEVIATIONS to villages alongside highways.And of course,its minister&#039;s got to be MEAN,in all PROBABILITY.</description>
