Water resources infrastructure ranges from educational and research infrastructure, storage works (surface and underground), hydrological and meteorological stations, irrigation systems, to water infrastructure for eco-tourism. This water resources infrastructure serves the mining, agricultural, urban and rural water needs, the environment, amongst a host of other needs and demands.
This study investigates the impact of financial liberalisation on real sector output in Nigeria by adopting the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) modeling technique for the econometric analysis. Pre-estimation tests such as the Stationarity and Cointegration tests were also done. The results show that the variables of interest in the model are cointegrated and that financial liberalisation (proxied by private sector credit) has a negative impact on manufacturing sector, while it has a positive impact on agricultural sector.
Infrastructure is fundamental for any kind of development. Health infrastructure is very essential for quality health output. In this connection, the objective of this study is to explore the health infrastructure available in the state of Odisha and especially in the twin city of Cuttack–Bhubaneswar. It is observed that the health infrastructure available in the state is very poor with large numbers of medical and paramedical posts lying vacant. But the situations in both the cities are quite good because of the private providers.
Rural roads are built to improve people’s mobility and to enhance access to markets, administrative centres, schools and health posts, and are credited with important socio-economic changes. A less studied aspect is the impact of roads on hydrological resources, as roads interact with existing surface and groundwater flows, redistributing water-related hazards and resources across space with significant consequences on people and their livelihoods.
The proposal, to be included in the administration’s budget request, is part of its effort to fight climate change. The revenue would be spent on highway infrastructure and research.
