Abstract
Infrastructure is the prerequisite for the development of any economy. It is difficult to imagine the modern world without basic facilities. Education is a human right while health is a human need. Both education and health are necessary for human emancipation and the social development of regions. Among the various elements of the basic structural characteristics, health and education levels are the best showcases of regional development due to their dual functions as cause and effect of modernization. The proposed study establishes the relationship between social infrastructure and social development using the infant mortality rate (IMR) and literacy rate of Uttar Pradesh, and also attempts to find out the cause-effect relation between both.
