Development of rural economy largely depends on adequate market facilities. They work as intermediate foeal points between rural and urban areas. But development of such focal point is arrested mostly due to lack of adequate transport in the countryside. Road Connection works as a catalytic agent for any social and infrastructural development which ultimately stimulates regional transformation in terms of growth and development. Due to lack of proper linkages millions of small and marginal farmers do not get access to the market and depend on middle man. The present study makes an attempt to highlight both development of agro-marketing centres and transport connectivity with reference to regional development in Vaishali District.

For finding spatial distribution of market centres various categories of markets are included in study and MPT is decided by the 'Modified Reed Munich Technique'. Score for different variables are added which give the index for each settlements by both the scores helps to analyse the relation of connectivity and market centres. Regression coefficient also helps the dependency of each other.

The Study explains that there is a positive co-relation. Hence, rural settlement needs better connection for uniform market development. Through development of such market foci regional imbalances can be restricted in the district.
