Abstract
The importance of infrastructure for economic growth and development in rural area can hardly be overemphasized in a developing economy like India. With poor rural infrastructure, even a marginal improvement in its quantity and quality could significantly improve economic development and human well-being. Improving basic infrastructure, such as roads, transport, electricity, Telecommunications, housing, health, water and sanitation, is essential for development and well-being of the rural population. The development of rural infrastructure could promote economic growth, improve the standard of living of the population and reduce the incidence of poverty by generating both farm and non-farm employment and earning opportunities, increasing productivity, providing access to basic goods and services and improving the health and physical condition of people (NCAER, 2007). Empirical studies also report a strong relationship between infrastructure, economic growth, rural development and poverty reduction.
