One of the important parameters of society’s growth and progress is its level of resource development and nature of infrastructure that it has created to meet the needs of its members. Infrastructure is popularly categorised into two segments, physical and social. The physical infrastructure primarily comprises of assets like transport network (roads, railways, ports etc.), electricity access and network, water availability (for drinking, irrigation and industry). The social infrastructure primarily consists of education and health care available to the members of a society. The ability to develop the infrastructure of a society is largely dependent on the availability of the required resources accompanied by its rational and optimal utilization keeping in mind the needs of a society.
