Role of infrastructure.
Infrastructure is the backbone of any country. It plays a very important role in supporting nation’s economic growth and the same is the case with India.
Rural infrastructure in the country encompasses rural roads, major dams and canal works for irrigation and drainage, rural housing, rural water supply, rural electrification and rural telecommunication connectivity.
Basically, rural infrastructure has the potential to provide basic amenities to people that can improve their quality of life.
Here are some tips:-
1. Rural road infrastructure:
It provides mobility and connectivity to people living in rural areas. It also provides the much needed boost to agricultural activities by making available water, seeds and other raw materials to the farmers. By improving connectivity, rural roads also enhance employment opportunities for the rural people in non-agriculture sector, thereby, increasing livelihood opportunities. Rural roads also ensure that the rural areas are served with better public services and all the benefits offered by the state reach the far-flung areas easily. They can even provide access to education and health services.
2.Rural water supply system:
It can lead to sustainability of systems and sources and tackle the problem of water quality, thereby, increasing good health of people.
3.Rural electrification infrastructure:
It basically caters well to the requirements of agriculture and other activities including irrigation pumpsets, small and medium industries, khadi and village industries, cold storage chains, healthcare and education.
4.Rural housing infrastructure:
It has the potential to improve living standard of the people.
