The document discusses India's infrastructure in several sectors. It notes that infrastructure includes economic infrastructure like power, transport etc. that directly promote production as well as social infrastructure like schools, hospitals etc. that indirectly promote production. It provides details on India's status in key infrastructure sectors like energy, health, and rural development. It highlights issues like rural households' lack of access to basic facilities and the urban-rural divide in infrastructure development.

3. Meaning
• Infrastructure refers to those basic elements of
economic and social aspects which provide support to
the production activity in the economy.
• These services are very important for economic and
social growth of the nation

those facilities and services through which goods and
services are produced for the consumers.
• These service help in promoting production directly
(economic infrastructure like power, transport etc.,)
and indirectly (social infrastructure like schools,
hospitals etc.,)

8. State of infrastructure in India
• Traditionally, the government has been solely responsible
for developing the country’s infrastructure, but this was
inadequate to meet the growing demand of infrastructural
development.
• Now the private sector by itself and also in joint
partnership with the government sector, plays a very
important role in the development of the infrastructure
• Despite so much technical progress in the world, women in
the rural areas are still using bio-fuels such as crop
residues, dung and fuel wood to meet their energy
requirement about 90% of the rural households use bio-
fuels for cooking
Madan Kumar
M.A.,M.A.,B.Ed.,M.Phil.,M.B.A.,

9. • Rural households walk long-distances to fetch
fuel, water and other basic needs.
• They lack very basic facilities of life(43% of them
still use kerosene).
• Water supply is limited to very limited places
• Tap water availability is limited to only 24%
• About 76% of the rural households use open
sources of water.
• Access to improved sanitation in rural areas is
only 20%

10. Energy
• More than 60% of Indian households depend
on traditional sources of energy for meeting
their regular cooking and heating needs

12. Consumption pattern of energy in
India
• Commercial energy consumption makes up about 74%
of the total energy consumed in India. It includes coal
having share 54%, oil at 32%, natural gas at 10% and
hydro energy at 2%
• Non-commercial energy sources consisting of
firewood, cow dung and agricultural wastes account for
over 26% of the total energy consumption.
• The critical feature of India’s energy sector is that India
has to depend on import of crude and petroleum
products because domestic production of these is not
sufficient enough.

14. Electricity / power
• The growth rate of demand for electricity is
generally higher than the growth rate of GDP.

GDP growth per annum, power supply should
grow by 12% annually
