It is now recognised that the basic objective of economic development is the expansion of human capabilities. There are important non-economic factors such as education, health and nutrition which can enhance human capabilities and consequently promote economic growth. If a large section of population particularly weaker sections is deprived of the capabilities because of illiteracy, ill health and malnourishment, thus the opportunities offered by the “well functioning market” cannot be utilised by the people. Therefore, it is necessary to provide education and health facilities to these sections of society to make them capable of utilising the opportunities generated through expansion of market due to structural reforms
