Hi each and everyone, First of all why the Public sector should not to be privatized? The absence of private sector in many departments makes the public sector so lazy. The people working in the public sector is as not so informative to the people as the people working in the private sector. The one and only reason for this fact is that mostly the one who works in the private sector is not an permanent one but the one who is in the public sector is so. It is the major reason which makes them more lazy. The second thing is that the higher officials of the private sectors are more strict than than an public one because there are under the compulsion to finish the work at the fixed time and in the fixed manner. But the higher officials in the public sector due to political reasons and many there are not as strict as in the private sectors. I have many reasons for why the public sector to be privatized. They are: 1. Private sectors avail the same facility as that of the public sector in the low cost.

2. Private sectors is more customer friendly than the Public sector. 3. Private sector finishes the job more faster than the Public sector. 4. Negligible amount of corruption in the Private sector. But the Public sector is full of corruption. 5. Private sector people fears on the customers. But the customers fears on the public sector. We can come to the conclusion easily by seeing the following details:. The public sector is for people but mostly the people is not preferring the public sector. The ticket fare of the Government express bus is higher than the Private Express bus. Though it is not safe the people prefer the Private Bank than the Government Bank because of the worst service of the Banker in the Government Bank. Likewise there are many reasons why public sector to be privatized. The Private sector is more customer friendly than the Public sector. So the Public sector should be privatized for the best results. The Private sector can bring Wealth and Prosperity to any of the nation. Be corruptless. Work for the nation. Jai Hind.

Hi to all! From my point of view rather to get the public converted to private the environment and the way of working should be like private. Today the people who are employed in the public sector have become lethargic as they take their duty for granted. Whereas, in the public sector there is nothing like discipline and creativity. So as per my opinion there should be strictness and target oriented as that in the private sector then only the economic growth will increase. Further, people think that being in public sector there is no one who can kick them out from their job that is why they do whatever they want. Today the private sector is giving fruitful results just because the employees are always in fear of losing their job so for their own sake they try harder and harder to get established in that company. So in conclusion, rather than privatization there is a need for proper and strict administration and the promotion should be on the basis of employee achievement and veterans rather than the number of year.

Hello Friends, Our topic of discussion is public sectors be privatized. In my opinion it should not be done. I don't believe that there is no corruption in private sectors and 'Private means more quality'. As we all know both has +ves and -ves. What should be done is try to implement the positives of private sector in public. In private sector employment is given on basis of talent and salary is paid on the work done. That policy should be acquired in public sector too. Employees of public sector may be talented, but once they gain a job in public sector, they have a feel that they are safe, and will be employed till 58/60 years regardless of their work. That attitude should be changed by implementing an organisation to keenly monitor their activities and action should be taken against such employees. This will solve the issue of delay and less quality in public sectors. Reason am saying privatization should not be done is, more than 50% of Indian population is still living below poverty line. Privatization will make life uneasy for them, as there is chance for increase in cost of goods n services. Also its a false belief that corruption doesn't prevail in private sectors. Though it prevails in public sec too, at least we have the right to question it. But in Private sec, we will be given no choice, other than keep mum.

HELLO Friends I want to share my views with you. During independence all the powers are in government hands there are no such thing like private sectors even its quite difficult to open up a new private organization due to strict legal measures. But when public sectors privatized there was drastic change occurred in progress, development, innovation, competition, quality of products. Like if we take an example of Indian banks before privatization, employees like women working there seem to be doing their own work like knitting etc. They were less interested in doing their work properly but after privatization huge change occurs they seem to be focussed in their job because of less security and competition. So to make our nation a developed from developing this could be a one method but also completely making all the public sectors privatized would also deviate from its goal. Because they more involved in money making processes. And now some public sectors are doing well but in some sectors there is a need of change. SO PUBLIC SECTORS SHOULD BE PRIVATIZED BUT UP TO SOME LIMIT.

Hello friends, In my point of view public sectors should be privatised. Because, 1. The work efficiency of employees of private sector is much more high than that of public sector organisations. 2. Government Is trying to minimize the corruption. But it is just for a shouting. Practically too much corruption is there in public sector. But in private sector the organization is very much conscious about corruption. So it will be minimized. 3. The private organization are more eager to implement the advance technologies and trying to increase product value larger. 4. The employee who is loyal and efficient gets more scopes and rewards in private sector. 5. Private sector creates the environment such that the employ learning capacity improves, laziness of employ decreases. So private sector employ become more efficient than public sector. In public sector the good employs learn laziness and become less efficient. 6. Package of employee of skilled persons are too much in private sector. 7. Moreover for the same investment private sector earns more profit.

Hello friends, I would like to suggest my points. I appreciate all the points mentioned. PUBLIC SECTOR: The government's main goal is to satisfy it's citizens in a variety of different ways: better transportation, better national security, better education, as well as allowing for citizens to keep more of their well-earned money. With that said, sometimes the only way to satisfy all these different societal values is to privatize. PRIVATE SECTOR: Private-means more effort and sincerity, punctuality, money based on work done. It doesn't provide life security. Good quality at relatively cheaper price. Manufacturing of goods and services will be on time. CONCLUSION: I think public and private sectors are necessary for India because improving in economics. Improves the GDP.

When we speak of bringing privatization, we expect the notion to bring along efficiency, completion of a task within scheduled dead line, establishment of liabilities on those who are expected to deliver services, better service experience for those who avail it and all these into an already malfunctioned govt system that is alleged of corruption, delayed performance and inefficiency. But privatization also brings along profit driven approach that somehow compensates the very ideology of delivering services to public at minimum cost.

I appreciate all the points mentioned. Friends, we see aesthetic buildings constructed around us at the same time we are moving on the roads with potholes and the interesting point is that both are constructed by private companies. Private sector not only constitutes of companies like TATA, Infosys, L&T etc but their are companies like satyam too. Since, we are working under public sector, we are finding flaws in it but, when we start working under private sector we will come to know its flaws and we won't be able to even complain about it. So, for a better society it is necessary to take a stand against the flaws of public sector and work upon it. Exactly the way AAP is working.

In my point of view both private sector and public sector should work parallel. I always heard about public sector that when we go for any service the officers denied to do it and ask for bribe. If you don't pay them they ask to next day, again next day or ask different types of documents even unnecessary documents. So, my suggestion is that people should aware for all service those are provided by public sector. Whats documents are needed, application fee, how long it will take to complete and finally what is process. If any officer denied to serve you take legal action against him and show them whats

are public (peoples) rights. In private sector all things are pre-compromised they serve according what price you have paid them but here also you need to aware about current market price of particular service. Never compromise with bad service irrespective of public or private sector, always take legal action against them. Be aware for everything and wipe-out corruption from country.

Hello friends, After going through the discussion most of the people quoted that privatization is an necessary evil because in privatization decision are spontaneous but one must must think is the decision taken by the private management will be in favor of the public. Second point to be noted is services offered by will be wider extent ? thirdly regarding corruption as it is like virus it can be observed in wide section of working sectors. We can't give assurance that only private sector will make things possible for us but the fact is the private management creates sensation but not services which cannot be afford wide section of people. Instead of privatization government needed to take certain steps or should adopt certain guide lines which satisfies public.

Hello, friends! From my point of view when I heard public and private, thoughts that come in my mind are: 1) Public-means 'less effort and sincerity, careless, not punctuality, more money and corruption (black money). 2) Private-means 'more effort and sincerity, punctuality, money based on work done. Only pros of public sector is that minority (i.e. SC/ST). In private sector only talented persons will get the job. Privatization is incomplete solution until its is controlled by an third trusted party.

Hey everybody, Hmmm. All of you guys are hovering around the points like. Speed, and. Quality. In privatization, and Corruption in public sector. As far as the speed and quality is concerned, yes, private sector wins, but the virus of corruption exists therein as well, it is behind the curtain just because common janta of India is not au fait with the private world. And most important, there is no check on the private system so there would be tremendous hike in charges that you people are charged now. In competition there would be reduction in cost though, however we can't be so sure of that. Now coming to public sector, We need a stern system to look after the employees. No doubt that most of the population of India is below poverty line and subsidies given to them by public sector relieves their wounds. Things like corruption, speed can be brought in a day in public system. Why change the window when changing curtains is more than enough. The best example to illustrate here is AAP's work in Delhi.

While I paid my elec. Bill in advance & I have to pay only for 40 units, I went to electricity office several times but they people always denied to process my request, and they asked me to give him 4000 bugs to make them correct. After roaming 4 months they did not update my correct bill & disconnect my connection. I spend 2 weeks without electricity in my home. And on every day I went to office but they always said bring this & bring that. Means I can not do anything and ultimately I have to spend 2000 bucks to restore my connection. So my opinion is PUBLIC sector should be PRIVATE. That is more helpful for common man (MANGO PEOPLE).

When we are discussing about privatisation it is important to understand its benefits and drawback, benefits like efficiency and control over corruption and drawbacks like "risk to poor people" and after analyzing both if benefits are overdoing to drawback, and if there are solution for drawback then we should go for privatisation. Let's take example of aviation industry after privatisation because of cut throat competition and other factor all of them went into a loss but if we could put some governing body over them who will govern them partly then this issues can be solved and we can relish benefits of privatization without getting affected by its drawbacks.

Hello one and all. The proposition given for discussion is "should the public sector be privatized". All of we know that public sector means the sectors which having more than 50% sharing by

government itself whereas in case of private sectors more than 50% sharing by some individual or some individual organisations. To me public sectors should not be privatized there should be put strong legislation to minimize corruption in these sector. No.1 - Strong actions should taken against the employees those who do mistakes. No.2 - A proper agenda should be maintain. No.3 - Complain facility must be taken into consideration. If public sectors are privatized government should keep an eye on these sectors to maintain the cost of products because as we know that private sectors are profit oriented so there may be maximum chances increase in cost to increase their profit those may effects on poor or middle class people.

Hello friends ! Public sector should be privatized. It is obvious that corruption is showering on people of India because of the drunken public sector, by introducing the schemes which benefit them rather than common people. It is always true that private sector seek for profits, but it is a single organizations profit. But in public sector every political leader tries to get profit, creating large body to be profited. Hence, controlled private sector is always far better than a public sector.

They are pushing us in backward direction. They don't understand the value of time, responsibilities, human value. In private sector people always care for their work because they are always monitored by the higher authorities. They get their salary for their job not for their position.

The matter of face some people are telling that poor might be ignored in that race, people we have regulators like RBI present to stop that, they can or rather they have made it mandatory to give or lend some percentage of money to the sectors and people who are in real need of money. Corruption to the matter of fact will go if we will stop it which is quite a task in a developing nation like ours to stop but slowly and gradually we are improving on that front also. Employees should get the benefit of government perks even in private sector, something like that should come up to secure there JOBS, so that they can work there minds, heart and soul

Public sector is backbone of our economic and social welfare and I don't mean that private sector is bad.

Privatization tends to create a competition by the help of competition it will be better for public, it means they will use good services with limit price.

Privatization have following Advantage. - It pay high tax to government. - High quality product. - It provide effective service. In India corruption rate are really very high especially in Government office so I am always in the favor of privatization specially in India.

Hello All, In my opinion, public sector should be privatized. I understood the concerns of people saying about the poor people that because private sector is meant for profit it will not concern the general public. But friends, we are ignoring some major points. If they are meant for profit they will also bring revenue to the country, more people will be employed. Think for a instance if a new manufacturing plant is set up, would not that need labour. We talk about government schools providing education, there are not even chairs and notebooks for students. Take the example of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, that have the minimum fare of Rs 8, comparing DTC buses charging 5, in 3 Rs we are ignoring the comfort, ease the person has, and it can be afforded by poor people. At last I would like to say, that privatization should be done and it should start as early asap, at least let economy grow rather than these politicians. Regards. Latika.

Its a long discussion. But there is a very basic question we must answer before we go ahead. "whether India is ready for complete privatization ". There are certain advantages and disadvantages of both. I would like to point out some of the concerns regarding privatization at this juncture-. 1. A huge part of India is still undeveloped and in spite of Government subsidies and tax benefits private players are not eager to tap those markets. The very structure of Public-private existence is necessary until those areas develop to an optimum level so attract private companies. 2. Regulatory clearance is a major hurdle in India as of now. And no private sector is making any advance in mastering that. 300 coal mines were allotted to private sector since 1993. Only a few

of them (around 30) is producing coal today at a capacity which is mere 10% of their total potential. Whatever coal is produced in India today that is from CIL (a PSU) mining fields. And if you people are following news and recent CAG report, you would know, how many big private homes are named in the Coal scam. So, in no way one can buy the theory of "privatization means more productivity and less corruption". 3. Whereas private companies have more access to external capital markets and funds, this factor at the same time creates vulnerability in terms of job security in Indian market. With dollar or euro getting a bit up or down can create lots of job cuts and salary underpayment. You must follow the global economic trend and FDI s & FII s moving in and out of Indian market. So there is a serious concern about "Liability" of private firms at present time. 4. Particularly, in manufacturing sector-with privatization of major equipment manufacturer's and power sector giants- Indian market will fill up with Chinese machines. Chinese manufacturers have certain cost advantage over Indian manufacturers-first -they enjoy substantial government subsidy from their government. The structure of their financing is based on cheap state loans-unlike India where companies are dependent on equity and debt market for investments. Moreover China has a current capacity over-addition and they are looking for emerging countries to export their products. This will kill Indian industries. So in future if china fails to deliver, we no longer will have an industry in our country to look up to. 5. Although health care is grossly under developed in India, privatization of this sector is a big no. I don't need to elaborate much on this, as I am sure many of you are following "obama care" and recent US government Shutdown. With 30% of its population living below poverty line, India can't afford a health care industry modeled on health insurance policies. These were jut some of my concerns. I can go on and on. But before that, I would like too have your opinion.

Public should be privatized but up to certain limit. Under private control there is no corruption and no time delay in working process while this all are there in public sector. And it may be possible that due to privatization cost may be increased because it is profit oriented sector. And process like compensation in government service like providing job to son of person who died during his job, I am not against the compensation provided but compensation in term of job, this must not be there. If a person who is more qualified for that job, give it to him/her rather than giving like compensation. So losses will be low, more economy, more growth etc.

From my point of view privatization of PSU companies shouldn't be done because development aspect would get buried under profit making aspects. Facilities like medical, education, transport etc would become costlier. No doubt that private companies. 1). Make more profit than government companies. 2). Salaries of worker are high. But the expenditure is equally high. Private company provides: 1). No medical facilities. 2). No education facilities.

3). No job security. 4). If your father/son died during job family would get nothing on other hand PSU provides some relieving facilities. 5). Same product same price but weight get reduced. Ever viewed surf excel or RIN weight printed. So I think privatization shouldn't be done.

In my opinion, private sectors are well managed and cost effective. Government sectors have applied so many policies but they are not able to execute them properly which not only affects the customer experience but makes it also unprofitable for government too. So privatization can result in very cost effective policies, well management and satisfactory customer experience. Many have been saying that private sector will emphasize on making more and more profit, and that can be true too. But with transparency and proper co-ordination with government (like subsidies) , services can also be made affordable to poor people. SO ultimately, it will have a very good impact on our economy.

As the name public sector speaks itself this sector is for benefit of general public whereas private sector is for profit for either an individual or for a group of individuals. Privatizing public sector will result in transforming this sector into a profit making organisation rather than working for the growth of the country. Moreover privatizing is not the only solution to eradicate growing corruption in public sector. Indeed private sector feels like a blessing in disguise but you need to take into account both the negative and positive aspects. But still some of the Public sector sections like transport, education etc. Can be privatized but an eye must be kept over them. Its not the public sector we need to change but we need to change the mindsets of the people running these sectors.

As far as I am concerned, I think there is a huge difference between development and the process of making profit. As we know private sectors are chiefly centered on enhancing profit as

much as possible whereas the public sectors are more interested in development along with making profit. But it doesn't mean that private sectors have no part in our development. They indeed possess the ability of making our country prosperous. Actually the way they think about development differs with those public sectors. It is very much evident that corruption has expanded its evil effect everywhere, not even the private sectors can get rid of it. So we shouldn't blame only public sectors, which are politically inclined. So privatization of public sectors cannot solve this problem. I think proper selection of eligible candidates in different posts, making proper agenda of all-round development and being stick to the plan, maintaining public relationships are more important to make public sectors more acceptable.

Yes public sector should be privatized as government already did a lot of corruption in nearly every department whether it is education, coal fields, sports, telecommunication, railways etc and also many of these departments are under heavy losses. Government should handover these departments to private companies as they have all the required profit making formulas. And as they are profit oriented organisation whereas government is more politically inclined and they rarely care about the development.

Hey guys, I agree with all of your views and I'd like to share my view as well. I seriously suppose the privatization of a public sector. Basically the public sector and private sector both plays a nominal role in human life. The main theme of public sector deals with helping the people who in need and whereas on the other hand the private sector treats with corruption, inflation, enforcement. But in these days, the public sector will gradually changing the past theme to become a privatization theme. The public sector in now-a-days is not even working legally or seriously to humans. On the other hand, the same thing happens with the private sector too. So, the laws in public sector and the ethics followed by them are drastically decreasing day-by-day. Let me tell you the point of happening this way to humans i.e., corruption in everywhere in every-field. So, even in the public places there is no citizen which can abide this rule. So in my view, this has to be perfectly privatized. Thank you.

Similarly hospitals and cheap food for poor cannot be provided by private organization. If we are worried that the public employees do not work properly then there is a need of strict work ethic which is seen in private companies.

See, we will have to understand the fact that a part of government is not focusing on its work. Hence this thing of getting privatized came in existence. Basically there are two aspects. We know government gives tenders to private organization for constructing roads, bridges. But still there are a lot of accidents of breaking bridges in front of us so we can't say that just by privatizing we can overcome this. Indian rail is an example in front of us. It is being properly run by the government and does not need to be privatized. If we can make our government sector corruption free, efficient, resourceful, Then I think there is no need to be privatization.

Hello my dear friends, The thought 'privatization of public sectors' comes into an idea only because the public sectors are not efficient in doing their works. So I think there is no need of privatization public sector indeed we must improve the efficiency of public sector by implementing stringent laws and always keeping an eye by an unofficial team on the work of each and every individual in public sector, by reducing the corruption we can gradually increase efficiency of the public sectors and by providing required amount of funds and also ensuring that fund is completely utilized to improve its efficiency only. Also by reducing the reservations and recommendations and only appointing capable persons to the applicable leading posts can govern the public sector to fulfil its colorful dreams. So I think its not necessary to privatize public sector indeed we can implement certain rules and laws ti increase efficiency of the public sector.

In my opinion converting public sector into private sector is a good idea as government itself has disinvestment goal every year and it provides a healthy amount of money to our government which government can utilize it in other development works moreover private sector bring some new talent, new energy into the system as we all know private sector is very vibrant unlike the public sector dullness. They will bring some good customer relationship management skill which many of the public organisation even don't know. The greatest advantage is profit, private sector can change our loss earning public organisation into profit earning ones as the employees are driven in such a way that if their performance is good then they will receive promotion and money otherwise they will be penalized as most of the private firms do.

Good evening friends, Thanks to all to provide your own opinion.

I agree with all of you but according to my point of view, it is just like the two parts of a coin, both private & public sector has their own advantages as well as disadvantages. In privatization, we will get more satisfactory services And this will also help to increase competition. But it will also affect on our economy, it increases inflation. People belonging below to poverty line will get affect very much. Whereas, if public sector focus on the people belonging below to poverty line then it also attract to slow system of government. Public servants does not work with full dedication and public sector does not provide satisfactory services to public. So if we will convert public sector into privatization so it will be bad for poor people, so instead of converting it into privatization, we must promote to hybrid topology. We should promote both, with strict rules and regulations. Thank You.

Hello, According to me, public sectors should not be fully privatized. Some sectors like Indian railways, is doing so good and making lot of profit to the government. But some sectors are urgently needed to be privatized in which lot of scams are coming out like power sector, telecom. In order to eradicate corruption these sectors should be privatized, in many public sectors workers do not do their work properly as they do not have any fear to loose a job owing to which many problems are created and remain pending for the years and who have to suffer for all that is public (aam aadmi). So, government have two options to eradicate these loses and corruption and enhance the profit of sectors are either by making some strict rules in public sector and have a sharp eye on the whole work and procedures or if it unable to do so then those sectors should be privatized.

Hi All, This is Amit, Privatization of public sector. Lot depends of which sector we are talking about. Let me clarify few doubts in the primary stage. Can we expect all private hospitals in our cities in our town

which do not have an entry for poor people, can we have only private sector telephone companies, can we have private companies have complete control on oil reserves, can we have all transport be provided by private sector and RTC vanishes, can we expect an private sector to take care of our defense. In the same way we can't expect the government to set up an IT industry on its own, we can't expect them to handle all the load of flight transport. My point over here is both are not mutually exclusive. We need to accept the fact that both are here to stay and we cannot make it without one. They do have their importance and we need to deal this issue according to the context. There are some strategic sectors, which need to be under control of Indian government like oil/gas sector. The subsidy we enjoy will be never provided by a private sector.

In my point of view, public sectors need not to be privatized. If we go on comparing between these two sectors, it's found the people working in public sectors are more relaxed in their lives with satisfactory salary in respect of their posts and workload. But in case of private sectors, generally the performance of an employee working there decides his/her salary. To some extent it's good, but it snatches the personal lives out of people working in a very high competitive environment. And second thing is, public sectors are not pure government These are government Of India (or any other nation) undertaking. Here the government Owns 51% of stake. So that public sectors also have the power to take its important steps by its own just like autonomic institute. So we can believe that there is less chance of corruption.

Then is it correct how many of us go to public hospitals? very few. How many of us go to government schools? again very few. But why? we'll get free education there but still we don't go. Because in today's world people are more interested in the quality. No parent will sent their child to a school or a hospital which is not having basic essentials. And our government. We all know that the money for the welfare goes in the pockets of the ministers and babus. Whereas, in a private sector, even if it is costly, at least we are getting quality products.

Besides, privatization doesn't always have to mean the government gives total control to the private companies.

Our Economy is 80% of poor and the private sectors are costlier and it will affect the people. Secondly, People working in the public sectors are not afraid of their job security and so when we according to the result oriented the public sectors are not good than private. But the workers in private sectors are giving their full efficiency to their company. What I am concluding is that both the sectors are important for us.

From what I think, public sector shouldn't be privatized. In fact both of them should 'co-exist'. Privatization has been successful in the west but in India it has more of less failed. Examples are education, banking and telecom. Even after such a large scale privatization of education, all we get year after year is an ostensibly large crowd of 'unemployable' engineers. SBI is still a preferred choice for banking for a large chunk of our population. BSNL services are at par with its competitors (all private). The rotten cancer of corruption ravages the private sector too. Recently three leading private banks were accused of lobbying and turning black money into white. A top notch private management college was reported to have 'blocked' the UGC page stating that it does not recognize this college. Then there was the 2G scam that also involved private players. In Germany a year or two back, the rick took out a procession demanding that more taxes be imposed on them so the poor could be benefitted. Unfortunately we don't have such people in our country. However I agree that private players have done incredibly well in certain sectors like IT. The TATA's have made an artillery gun so efficient, that talks of its features are already doing rounds in the international defense industry. So from my point of view, both private as well as public sector should be made to "SHARE" the market. Both should CO-EXIST. A regulatory body (like RBI) must be formed to monitor both the players. This way, private players can be kept under check and the lazy public sectors (only the lazy ones) would lose the race and eventually cease to exist. Sectors like defense should be strictly under government control but private companies must be allowed to manufacture defense equipment. This way we wouldn't have another LCA Tejas project which was commissioned way back in 1984, has crossed 10 times its initial sanctioned budget and would be outdated by the time it gets to see some action! P.S: Criticism, both positive as well as negative, would be highly appreciated.

In my point of view Public sectors are also important as private sectors, because if there is only private sectors it will leads to inflation. Middle class families and poor men will effect by it.

According to my view, public sector should be privatized as of in many sectors employees are not sincere on their work, due to which large works remain pending and at last common people suffers. They don't have the fear of losing their jobs if they will not perform well. As in private sectors if you will not work you have to lose your jobs due to which each employee works hard which increases the production and profits increasing the country's development.

In my point of view most of the indians are thinking to do private jobs and their minds are freaking so they don't want to do the government jobs because they privileged and in the private jobs most of the peoples are satisfied about their work and their ambition is to do in a top of MNC companies because they aint it the experience as well as their good income, but also the central government jobs also have more competition in that but we afford to do private jobs mostly whether some of peoples are trying to do in government jobs also, but the public sector be privatized mostly.

Good evening to all. India is one of the developing country most of the developing has been happened depending on

both public and also private sectors but most of the people are interested to do the jobs in the public sector why because due to the aliveness provided by the government as we see all the people cannot be achieve the public sector jobs so they are approving the private sectors if the public sector has privatized so the there more benefits for all the people who are doing the jobs. As we observe in public sector the corruption has been increased. If it has privatized some amount of corruption will be controlled and also there are more benefits. As the public sector is under the maintenance of government only some people will involve and give the innovative ideas for the development. If it is privatized more number of people will involve in giving the ideas for the developing. So it is better to privatize the public sector.

Privatization is obviously needed, because. For example, in education field I am not sure that we all are getting fruitful education. Our system should be changed so that it will helpful to improve our knowledge and also our country too. I am not satisfied with what we are studying without practical knowledge. If it would be privatized I think our education system may get changed. I don't think this is not possible with public sectors.

In my perspective, public sectors must be privatized because of many reasons. First of all, it will decrease the corruption which our country is suffering from. Second, employees in the private organizations work to the best of their capabilities as private organizations are so strict about the output. Third, the services will be much better and with higher reliability. It is a clear fact that a private company provide better and fast services than that of a government firm. It'll take care of the consumer's requirements also. Although, privatization has a disadvantage that the prices of those goods and services will be decided by them only. That is, the prices will be comparatively higher in the name of better quality and services.

Hello friends,

I don't think that privatization of public sector units is the only solution for the problem that our country facing. As we know that private organization first work for profit making, So for country like us where poor's contribute majority of nation population. For example, if Indian railway would privatized what would happen, firstly fare would be increased with very high rate that would burden those who used to railway as cheaper transport system. I accept that for doing this quality of service may be better under private organization. Apart from it, as PSU responsible to government from which government Earn revenue and that money government Use for making policy to people of nation. So making PSU privatized govt would not have any source of income and it could be huge loss to exchequer that comes out our nation under the control of corporate houses which might be threat to country sovereignty. So without making PSU privatized, we can improve our system like remove corruption, improve quality of service by hiring people on the basis of skill oriented eligibility criteria also there must be time to time performance major tests of employee that would help them do not become dull as this is the man problem in PSU as compare to private unit, less political interference, proper accountability and transparency etc. Are measures that would remove question mark on our public sector units. Thanks. Regard. Bhuvnesh Kumar.

Working in a public sector or govt sector means good salary, pension after retirement, better medical facilities to govt officials. However, public sector comprises of only a small section of our society. Not too many people can get such facilities. A major section of the society works in the private sector. According to me, govt should not give better facilities only to people working in public sector. Such facilities should be given to every Indian citizen because all of us pay our taxes to the government If govt cannot provide facilities to all then there should not be a separate sector for government All sectors should be privatized.

Public sector enterprises are the base of industrial development in our country. Under the Industrial Licensing Policy 1956 and also under the second five year plan (1956-1961) which we know as Nehru-Mahalanobis model, Indian govt stressed the need of developing public sector

enterprises as heavy or basic industries producing capital goods which can stand as a base for production and then development of other industries rather than depending on imports and foreign interventions. The role of Public sector organisations at that time was of completely socialistic view with the aim of reducing social inequality, regional development, goods at cheap prices to the economically weaker sections of the society and afterall to mitigate the causes of high unemployment which all were at its zenith after the independence. Moreover the private sectors were not in that position to mobilise resources to develop infrastructure nor were they interested to be socialistic and they supported the govt's immediate role in industrialisation. Most of the Pvt sectors like cement, Pharmas and others were gradually sloping downwards and it was the govt who undertook them and revived them. Gradually industrialisation paved way for many consumer goods industries and other industries (public than that of pvt) and production increased, employment increased, per capita income increased with passage of time. LIC and banks were then nationalised by the govt in 1969 to make use of the credits for the development of industries for public welfare rather than the credits to be completely diverted to meet private ends. But today some PSUs are getting sick units due to. * Lack of Autonomy given to them by the govt. * Corruption and dirty politics by trade Unions. * More expenditure than the revenue. * Low productivity. These can be overcome can there is no need to privatize all the sick units as the remedies if taken can help in revival of these sick units:-. * Complete autonomy to the PSUs. * Preventing corruption and unfair trade union practices. * Proper training of employees and workers. * Market study and ability to convert the industries as per the demand for the product or service. * Limited access to private sectors to certains areas and boost these industries to produce export oriented products. Its not necessary that all sick units need to be privatised as there were once the public sectors which gave India the time to revive even at the time of complete crisis and also when there were no Private companies at large and neither the MNCs were present. Even there were no sufficient skills which was required desperately. But still India found its way to grow and created a strong industrial base besides contributing to the economy and society at large.

In my opinion there are good and bad sides for both public and private firms. Firstly in public firms its a lengthy procedure. There is corruption in public sector. Third quality cannot be fully assured. But what matters is public enterprises work for the benefit of the society. It makes services available to the poor people. Whereas in private sector, it takes less time. Since they are running after profit the return on investment for investors will be high. The quality of service or product will be guaranteed and the risk of doing is much less because, private firms do a thorough study of the project they are getting into. So in my opinion a public private partnership is going to be an effective and efficient model in many sectors such as infrastructure etc.

"INDIA", a country constituting of a population, who are engaged with agriculture. A wide section of people whose only ambition seems to be 2 square meal a day & more hardly a temporary roof over their head. A private sector runs with a concept of capitalism. Its main motive is profit oriented. Though it give a great field to compete for the producers and enlarges the choice for consumers. Lets take for an example the new pulsar 200ns, the newly discovered sports bike. Now its obvious it can only be afforded by certain young "RICHIE RICH" and not by those youngs who saw a scene of poverty from their childhood. So privatisation is a concept which beats for a certain classes. Now comes public sector, the name itself stands for public. Its main motive is the welfare of the public. Its production will be for the common people i.e. the products which can be afford by the commons. The most important thing to remember is that the root cause of these whole is "INDIVIDUAL". What do we want? The main problem of our system is the dirty politics that snatched the faith if the common people from the government whereas after debates privatization prove its management above all. SO, the most urgent what's needed is "good and perfect human beings" with a humanistic thought and then every sector can work side by side amiably and it will not be a dream to see our nation in top.

According to my opinion public sectors should be privatized, because in private sectors there is no reservation and we cannot find that boon in private sectors and they will hire students who are having great strength of knowledge not reservation. But in public sectors they will hire only the students who are having reservation strength. So instead of taking very extreme decisions, I think it is good to improve the ongoing system.

Hello everyone ! I think public sector should be privatized but in a controlled manner, we should not give all the rights to the private companies. The govt sector has certain advantages over public sectors. 1. It is concerned with the social as well as the economic welfare of our country. 2. It increases the employment. 3. It does not neglect the poor man as in case of public sectors. 4. It does not take much work from their employees as in case of public companies. Disadvantages: 1. The reservation system in govt sectors is not good for society as it is a kind of burden in the growth of minded people. 2. Public sector is concerned with the maximization of money. 3. In public sectors every individual will work hard because the would have the fear of losing their job if they would not work harder. 4. It decreases the corruption.

Hi Good Morning, The present scenario of Indian Government is, it is doing puppet dance in the hands of some rich individual owning a chain of Corporate Companies. The petrol prices in the country is decided by them. If one such individual gets angry on government the ruling government will collapse. This is a very severe threat to Indian Economy. The most economically crucial activities like petroleum exploration also should not be handed over to private firms instead of Government Companies like ONGC, Indian Oil etc. The Private sector should be developed and should compete with the public sector for good stronger economy and GDP growth. Privatizing the

existing government firms is a huge threat to the mixed economy due to which our country has been in this state today. Thank you.

Hello Everyone, This topic which we all are discussing is about the privatization. I first would like to define this It is an action of making any sector as your own, you have your own right to use and run that in your way. See we all are now in a competitive world which is growing very fast. So for surviving we will also to be fast. Private sectors increase the competition among themselves and create motivative environment to do best and get the success. So If there would be privatization our country will not only grow fast but also there will be strong economy of our country. It will also reduce the corruption, which is a big disease of any country, which is there in public sector because people will strictly follow the norms if they won't they will get fired. On the other hand privatization will make every sector money oriented and won't take care about public welfare their convenience and upliftment which is their in case of public sector. But I would still suggest to take a positive action and try privatization in the sectors where it can really bring the change like- Water, Electricity and LPG supply because people would have full control and limit of usage of resources so they would be able to use these in economic and efficient manner. So try because "Not trying is bigger failure than the failure after trying. ".

Hello Friends, According to me public sector should privatize in those areas where they are not much efficient. While in areas where they have their dominance, they should continue in those areas and also improving their skills. For eg:public transports like railways and bus are more effective means of transport for public and they are even cheap. While in areas like passport government has privatized it and it has been much more comfortable for the public to apply for passports.
