. Shubarat Shameem and Dr. M Rajeswari


Abstract

Social infrastructure Services plays an important role in both the economic development of a nation and the development of society’s quality of life. The development is supposed to be inclusive in terms of social infrastructure services like electricity, drinking water, health centres, toilets, housing, communication, school and so on. These infrastructures are necessary and integral part of human development in any community living in rural and urban areas. This Study is about the availability and accessibility of Social infrastructure services in the Kashmir Valley. It has been found from this study that in terms of Social infrastructure services, Kupwara, Ganderbal, Bandipora, and Kulgam districts are least developed districts in the Kashmir Valley .There has been given less emphasis to the socio-economic development in these districts compared to other districts. These districts are still lacking from the availability and accessibility of social infrastructure services in the Kashmir valley. The poor policies, lack of good governance and poor investment climate has left the development of region in its infant stage and has been led to the unequal and unplanned distribution of Social infrastructure across the region.
