Dimensions of infrastructure financing in India. Bibliography. Index. Infrastructure represents the wheels of economic activity. Adequate infrastructure provision helps to diversify production expand trade cope up with population growth reduce poverty etc. There is a close link between infrastructure and development. A one per cent increase in the stock of infrastructure is associated with a one per cent increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Infrastructure services also contribute to environmental sustainability. Adequate infrastructure services help to improve the quality of life of people. Despite its huge importance minimum infrastructure services are still beyond the reach for millions of people in the world. About 1.1 billion people lack access to clean water supply and about 2.6 billion live with in adequate sanitation. At the same time 2 3 billion people lack access to modern energy and nearly 20 per cent of rural population reside more than 2 km. from an all weather road. The various countries of the world have recognized the key role that infrastructure can play both directly and indirectly to achieve the socio economic goals. India during the last one and a half decade is trying hard to improve in all spheres of economic activity and it is indeed in the path of rapid economic progress. Of late planners and development economists have expressed concern about the adequacy of infrastructure facilities to sustain the tempo of economic progress. The book therefore focuses on such a burning topic to highlight the various strengths and weaknesses of infrastructure provision in India. It covers both economic and social infrastructure. The former includes public utilities such as transport communication energy water supply sanitation and the later covers education and health. 268 pp.…

Growth and pattern of health care expenditure in Odisha/Hadibandhu Sahoo, Anuva Choudhury and Amita Kumari Choudhury.Health is a form of human capital which facilitate economic development of a nation in very many ways. As poverty level has declined in the post-liberalisation period, the income level of the people has gone up. This has resulted in the expansion of health seeking behaviour of the people. Despite this public expenditure as a percent of GDP has not increased much. Even after the allocation of huge amount of funds through the NRHM programme, public expenditure as a percent of GDP has reached just 1.37 percent in 2010-11. The limited public sector suffers from unlimited problems. As the public sector has failed to cope up with rise in health care demand the private sector dominates the health care market which is evident from the fact that the private sector provides 76 percent of the healthcare in India.
