This site provides detailed information on
India Infrastructure Needs. The site also focuses on the growing need for
basic and modern infrastructure in rural and urban India respectively.
India’s economic development is projected on the basis of the development of its basic infrastructure in its 600,000 villages inhabited by the 700 million
rural population. Rural
India infrastructure needs a completely new visionary outlook and new initiatives. Agriculture is the main occupation in
rural India and most of the rural population still depends either directly or indirectly on
agricultural activities for their living. But the lack of basic infrastructure for pursuing
agricultural activities has forced a large section of India’s
agricultural labor force to move to
non-agricultural sectors for livelihood.
The rural
India Infrastructure needs are:
- Rural housing
- Roads
- Healthcare
- Education
- Irrigation
- Drinking Water
- Power
- Telecommunication
Further, the tremendous growth of Indian IT, telecommunication, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industry has created an enormous pressure on the limited
world class urban infrastructure available in India. The
Ministry of Finance has realized that
economic development of India is directly connected to the availability of basic and
modern urban infrastructure in Indian cities. The
government of India has now formulated
policies to forge public and private partnerships for tackling the problems related to infrastructure.
The urban
India Infrastructure needs are:
Urban housing
Business premises
Power
Urban transport
Water supply,
Sewerage
Airports
Railways
Seaports
Roads
Bridges
Tourism infrastructure
Solid waste management
Projects in SEZ
Health care
Entertainment
Communications
Financial limitations of the central government for providing
world class infrastructure made it impossible to meet
India Infrastructure needs at every village and cities in India. So the
government of India's Infrastructure development policy aims at engaging major financial contributions from private partners for meeting
India Infrastructure needs in urban as well as
rural India.
