2. Social infrastructure means those basic activities and
services which, in addition to achieving certain social
objectives, indirectly help various economic activities.
For example, education does not directly affect economic
activities like production and distribution but indirectly
helps in the economic development of the country by
producing scientists, technologists and engineers.
So education, health service, sanitation and water supply
etc. are the examples of social infrastructure.
