Quality infrastructure, covering the services of transportation (railways, roads, ports, civil aviation); electricity transmission and distribution; communications (telecommunication and post); water supply and sanitation, and solid waste management, is one of the most important necessities for unleashing high and sustained growth and alleviating poverty, particularly in the backward States. From a policy perspective, there is now a widespread consensus that direct government production of all infrastructure services introduces difficulties concerning technical efficiency, adequate scale of investment, proper enforcement of user charges, and competitive market structure. At the same time, a pure reliance on private production in an unregulated market is not likely to produce sound outcomes. India has been actively engaged in finding the appropriate policy framework, which gives the private sector adequate confidence and incentives to invest on a massive scale, but simultaneously preserves adequate checks and balances through transparency, competition and regulation.

Slide 5: 

Social Responsibilities in Infrastructure:- Infrastructure should bring sustainable development in the country. Employment can be provided through Infrastructure. Infrastructure should do all the works properly with keeping in my mind that there are some Social Responsibilities are also there.

Slide 6: 

Social Responsibility The quality of life in any urban centre depends upon the availability of and accessibility to quality social infrastructure. Social infrastructure can be looked at in terms of the facilities indicated in the City Level Master Plan, and Community Facilities, which are indicated at the layout plan level in various use zones. Together, these include Social Infrastructure facilities pertaining to Health, Education, Sports Facilities, Socio-cultural activities, Communications, Security and Safety, and Other Community Facilities pertaining to Recreation, Religious activities, Social Congregations and Community Events, Cremation/ Burial Grounds etc. These are generally planned in terms of population norms with stipulated permissibility conditions and development controls. The proposed Planning norms and development controls and conditions in respect of various social infrastructure facilities.

Slide 7: 

Key Issues of Social Responsibility:- Inadequate and Inferior Infrastructure Poor Public service delivery Lack of quality choices for CONSUMER Lack of access especially for the poor due to a high dependence on relatively expensive privately provided services.

Slide 8: 

Schooling in India has historically been privately provided where in teachers, who also had religious or spiritual preoccupations, formally imparted education. The state was rarely engaged in the business of providing education. Despite this, access to some basic schooling was available to both the rich and the poor. British records from Punjab in the north to Madras Presidency in the south reveal that students and teachers were not limited to the upper castes only. In fact the caste wise break-up in different provinces of the Madras Presidency shows that lower castes often formed the bulk of the students. While access to education was perhaps not entirely egalitarian or widespread, the poorest could obtain some initial schooling for their children in an era when state subsidies were largely absent (Dharampal 2000). Social Responsibility regarding to Education

Slide 9: 

Medical Responsibility This programme runs in addition to the Health Ministry’s Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) project. The main objective of the programme is to promote family planning and spacing of birth and provide services such as medical termination of pregnancy (MTP), sterilization, and the usual follow up services. As per the official estimates there are 550 centres at the district level and 1012 sub-divisional level hospitals. There are three types of post-partum centres: Type-A covering medical colleges/institutions undertake more than 3000 obstetric and MTP cases annually, Type-B that undertake between 1500 to 3000 cases annually and Type-C covering institutions that undertake less than 1500 cases annually8. Health centres under this scheme focus on maternal health and the approach followed is that of family planning as this programme was initiated with an aim of motivating women in the reproductive age groups and their husbands towards adopting the small family norm. Increasing awareness of the people in this direction is another specific objective of the post-partum programme.

B. Business Ethics:- One of the most important questions owners and managers of a responsible business enterprise (RBE) must ask themselves is “What style, structure, and systems of authority and responsibility at all levels should we exercise?”

Slide 11: 

Business Ethics A business ethics program provides an information and reporting system for both the owners and the managers. An emerging corporate governance standard is that owner representatives are responsible for ensuring that they receive the information they need to prevent and detect wrongdoing. They may be held individually liable for losses caused by noncompliance with applicable legal standards.6 While delegating authority to the chief executive officer (CEO) to conduct day-to-day operations, an RBE’s board of directors must provide for systematic and rigorous monitoring of enterprise performance through an information and reporting system. Boards often delegate the authority to

Slide 12: 

Importance:- When designing business ethics infrastructure, owners and managers will consider the nature of the enterprise—its size, its complexity, and the resources available to it. As stressed in Chapter 3, an enterprise uses infrastructure and formal alignment practices to emphasize enterprise strengths and to compensate for and reform enterprise weaknesses. Over the past few decades, various offices and committees—for example, the business ethics officer and business ethics council—have developed to serve a number of necessary functions. These offices and committees meet the needs of LCEs, and it is valuable to describe them for those designing and implementing a business ethics program of any size.

Slide 13: 

Responsibility Function 1. Overseeing the program at a high level (the responsible officer) 2. Performing or coordinating the specific functions of the business ethics program (the business ethics officer). 3. Advising the responsible officer and business ethics officer and representing the enterprise as a whole (the business ethics council). 4. Advising the responsible officer, business ethics officer, and employees and agents about specific professional ethics, compliance, and social responsibility issues, such as biomedical, engineering, or community issues (the professional ethics council). 5. Linking various levels of the enterprise with a central ethics office (business conduct representatives). 6. Performing related executive and department functions (the chief financial officer; legal counsel; human resources; internal audit; environment, health, and safety; government procurement; and investor relations). 7. Abiding by standards and procedures and striving to meet reasonable stakeholder expectations (every employee and other agent of the enterprise).

C. Ecological in Infrastructure:- The small amounts of land where we concentrate many thousands of people do not represent the true carrying-capacity of the natural resources on the site. We are forced to concentrate natural resource inputs and outputs from a large surrounding area in order for our cities to exist. The means of concentrating resources is through building and maintaining engineered infrastructures such as streets, pipes, wires, curbs, buildings, parking lots, water collections and treatment systems, and environmental management devices for building interiors.

Slide 15: 

Ecological Infrastructure As watersheds are deforested, floodplains are constrained, storm water is directed through pipes, and rivers are channelized, many ecological services are severely impaired. Flooding becomes more frequent, extreme, and expensive; the recreational benefits of surface creeks are lost; habitat is degraded; water quality is impaired; and wastewater treatment facilities may be overburdened.
