Question

Explain the two categories into which infrastructure are divided. How are both interdependent?

Answer 1

Infrastructure is divided into two categories which are economic and social. (i) Social Infrastructure Infrastructure related with energy transportation and communication all come under the economic and the infrastructure related with education, health and housing are come under the social infrastructure. (ii) Economic Infrastructure The economic growth attained with the help of economic infrastructure is incomplete without human development. The basic functions of society that are necessary to transport resources; and people, produce and trade all are Incomplete without money or economic support. Thus one infrastructure supports the other. Hence, they both are interdependent.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Infrastructure is divided into two categories, i.e.

economic infrastructure and social infrastructure.

Infrastructure associated with energy, transportation and communication are included in the former category whereas those related to education, health and housing

are included in the latter.

Economic infrastructure and social infrastructure are interdependent on each other. For example, the development and expansion of transport and

communication network requires a team of qualified and skilled persons. Similarly, a strong infrastructure of education and health becomes meaningless, if it is not supported by a good transport and communication system.
