2. Infrastructure and Development Infrastructure encompasses those activities without which there would be only limited activity. It typically characterizes the technical structures such as Transportation facilities (Roads, bridges, tunnels, railway track, air strips etc.), Water supply, Power, telecommunications, Health care services (Health centers, Hospitals, PHCs etc.) and so forth, and can be defined as the physical components of interrelated systems providing commodities and services essential to enable, sustain, or enhance societal living conditions. 2

3. Development is a long-term dynamic process, which enables a country to attain high levels of income, output and employment and secure better standards of living. Development implies a passage from a lower to a higher stage. The study of development in geography reveals the spatial patterns of development by examining the causes and effects of geographical factors as well as it seeks to understand causes and consequences of socio-economic and political factors for varying development. 3

4. The seventh five year plan draft clearly outlined the importance of road transport as follows: “Since the country’s economy is still largely agrarian in character, roads constitute a critical element of the transportation infrastructure. Road construction and maintenance generate sizeable employment opportunities, a factor that has assumed considerable importance with demographic expansion and the growth of labor force”. Better roads also achieve economy in fuel consumption and improve the overall productivity of the road transport sector. Road development will thus continue to play an important role. 4

5. Significance of the Study The District level spatial studies is helpful for providing the geographical causes which affects the development of any region. Yavatmal is an industrially backward district and its economy is primarily based on agriculture and allied activities. Being a rain fed agriculture district, only kharif crop is cultivated by majority of the farmers. The objectives of this research is to develop a model that explains the availability and variations in the infrastructural facilities such as Power, Water and Transport and their impact on the development of the region using Tahsil level data. 5

6. The study will analyze the effectiveness of these three mentioned parameters in the process of development of the district which would give the spatial dimensions of development. It helps in strategic planning for development by providing a more comprehensive, rigorous and integrated knowledge base. There are no studies done in the field of geography in the proposed area. 6

7. The Study Area   The Yavatmal district lies between 19°26’ and 20°42’ north latitudes and 77°18’ and 79°9’ east longitudes. It falls in parts of the Survey of India Toposheets No. 55L, 55I, 56E, 56I, 56M, covering 13582sq.km. The district is well drained by Wardha and Penganga rivers and their tributaries. The Climate of the district is characterized by a hot summer and general dryness throughout the year except during the south-west monsoon season, i.e., June to September. 7

8. It has a total population of 2,772,348 as per 2011 census. The district has 18 towns and 2,137 villages. Where, total male Population is 1,419,965 and total female population is 1,352,383 as per 2011 census. The Growth rate of population shows declining nature as it drastically falls down by 6% approximately from 2001 to 2011. 8

10. Hypothesis Hypothesis:   Infrastructural facilities are most important for the development of any region. The development of Yavatmal district depends on Power, Water and Transport facilities. 10

11. Aims and Objectives   To Study the existing scenario of Power, Water and Transport facilities at Tahsil level. To analyze the impact of Power, Water and Transport facilities on the demographic structure of the District. To measure the effectiveness of Power, Water and Transport facilities in context of physical resource base and its impact on the socio-economic, industrial and agricultural development of the district. To find out the spatial distribution of Power, Water and Transport infrastructural facilities and its associated problems. To suggest a suitable strategy for accelerating the pace of overall development while simultaneously narrowing down disparities in this regard.   11

12. Research Methodology The adoption of sound methodology in any research work is the vital role to achieve the objectives of the study. It deals with data requirement, sources of data, collection of data, scope of the study, the explanation of concepts and tools of analysis to be used. Data Required: Primary Data : The primary data is required to be specifically tailored for this study. Secondary Data: Spatial Data: The proposed study will be using spatial data to derive different kinds of maps to present the results of analysis. The data will include satellite imageries, toposheets, tahsil maps. Non Spatial Data: It will include the attribute data collected from different types of secondary sources. To derive the present status of the available infrastructural facilities some of the data required are as follows: 12

13. Power -Total number of electrified households -Total number of electrified industries -Total number of electrified commercial sectors -Agricultural use of electricity Water -Sources of water supply -Access to potable water -Total number of households with tap water supply -Total number of commercial and industrial units with Tap water supply -Total number of households with well water supply -Sources of irrigation -Net irrigated area 13

14. Transport -Total length of roads, railway tracks -Per capita length of roads and railway track -Types of road and railway track -Road length per lakh population -Railway route length per lakh population -The length of rural roads and district roads, national highway -Motor vehicles per lakh of population 14

18. Scope & Limitations S cope of study is limited for the district of Yavatmal. It will mainly focus on tahsil level development in the district. The study is considering only three aspects of Infrastructure facilities i.e. Power, Water and Transport as they are the basic primary required physical infrastructural forms. The time period for the analysis is considered from the year 1991 onwards. 18

19. Review of Literature Mujmale B. ( 2010) studied Infrastructural development in Jalna district of Maharashtra, the study carried out to show the cause and effect of Infrastructure in the development of the a study area and it shows that 1% of increase in the stock of infrastructure is associated with 1% increase in Gross Domestic Product. Varshney S. (2008) studied Financing of Infrastructural Development in India since 1991. The study highlights the trends in the infrastructure sector of the country in the post reform period. It also illustrates the trends of financing in both public and private sector. Kanjariya K.D. (2015) carried out the study of Development impact and prospects of infrastructure in Jamnangar district with the economic point of view and mainly focused on the infrastructural facilities to show the development related problems and its impact on the districts economy. 19

20. Mani M. (2011) studied the Role of Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure corporation in Industrial Development of Andhra Pradesh. . It states that “The success of industrialization is that when its bases widened geographically and the development of small and medium sized small centers. ‘Part of the reason for the underdevelopment of low-order settlements in rural regions is the absence of essential services, facilities, and infrastructure in many towns and small cities that could support them. These highly skewed distributions of services and facilities are not unusual; they are reported both in small, insular countries of the South Pacific Ocean and in large, poor countries like India and the Sudan.’ (Rondinelli, D. A. 1983). In 1968, the Pande Committee identified 13 districts in Maharashtra as industrially, backward. They were Aurangabad, Beed, Bhandara, Buldhana , Chandrapur, Dhule, Jalgaon, Kulaba, Nanded, Osmanabad, Parbhani, Ratnagiri and Yavatmal. Apparently, its underdeveloped human resources do not seem to have been a barrier to industrial development. With respect to infrastructural development, the first principal component which represented the facilities of road, railway, telephones and bank offices explained 40 per cent of variance. 20
