The term social infrastructure is used to include those facilities which tend to improve the quality of human life. It has acquired a very important role in Indian economy because it performs the task of development of human resources through education, health, training, skill generation, research and development to enhance efficiency of the production mechanism to ensure an orderly pace of social and economic development. Social infrastructure promoted human capital formation. Economists like Bodin and William Petty attempted to measure the value of human capital and showed that returns to investment in human capital are very high.
