Explanation

Infrastructure is of two types— (i) Physical infrastructure and (ii) Social infrastructure. Physical (economic) infrastructure includes roads, electricity, energy, water, transport, telecommunication, etc. Social infrastructure includes health, education, insurance, housing, etc., which are related to the development of human skills. They are called basic infrastructure because they play a fundamental role in the development of the economy; without them, development is not possible.
