Hello Friends,

From my points of view, we can't say directly that public sector should be privatized or not. The reason is if you compared it from private on the basis of money, public sector gives services on low prices and it is taken by all the citizen of India. But on the basis of facility, quality private sector comes upon public sector.

Hello Friends,

As per the view of all my friends stated above, it is true that privatization of public sectors will lead in high prices for all things and ultimately middle class (common man) has to repay for it heavily.

As per my view, instead of making public sectors totally private, we should adopt the methodology of private sector that in public places. For eg: In Govt. hospitals there should be a keen watch on activities of the workers and doctors. Timelines and targets should be set for everyone. Regular feedbacks from patients should be taken. In this case it might be possible that sometimes public may also misuse the liberation. At that time the case should be verified and necessary actions must be taken.

The very basic thing of public sector that needs to be changed is the way they interact with the common man. If politeness is taught to every public sector employee most of the work will be simplified. Rudeness, irate, arrogance is the main symbol of public places, due to which most of the people prefer private hospitals etc. If this picture is changed, there are good hopes. Similarly, Govt. should start taking hold of private sector, as though they provide good facility, common man is deprived of all the facilities due to money.

India is a developing country. And if Govt. does not take necessary actions for solving basic needs of Indians, poor will remain poor and will have no chance for further development.

Afterall, Govt. of India levy's heavy taxes in all the sectors and thus is liable to provide good facilities as per the money paid by common man.

Equality, politeness, humble-service, co-operativeness are the things that needs to be nurtured for India to grow at faster rate.

According to me, public sectors excluding defense should be privatized with some obligations towards social responsibility imposed on it. Public sector employees having been secured about their job do not get pressure and do not give 100% of their efforts to maximize wealth in most cases. With the intention to earn more giving less effort paves the way of bribery as well as corruption. Now-a-days it took a awful shape in this sector. So this should be put to an end. So finally, public sectors are required to be privatized with some responsibility towards society to secure a better world.

Friends privatisation of all public sector companies is definitely not the solution to our problems. Privatisation can avail good facilities to us upto certain extent but the cost and factors like security will suffer. As we all know private electrical companies deliver good power but at a much higher price. So we should try to improve the public sector rather than privatising all the public sector.

I think now the situation is changed. There is biometric attendance system is introduced in public sector institutions. And bribery can be effectively controlled vigilance. Privatization is not possible in some areas where govt's direct contribution is required.

I think public sector should be privatized because we don't need to give much explanation about it. We know the conditions of public sectors bribery, less working these are some agendas of public sectors. So, for betterment our country it should be done.

Respected All friends,

This is just a matter of discussion that which one is better. Public or Private. Should we privatise all public sectors of country like India. We all knows that there are always Pros and cons in each and every sector.

In my opinion we should not to change public into private. Rather think about eradication of existing cons of Public sector. We have to take step to rethink our mindset that we personally like to work in Public sector and want facility from Pvt sectors. This is only because our mind set is like getting a comfortable job. With good salary, working condition and less responsibility is key aim of our life.

Dear friends. Corruption is everywhere private or Public is not a matter of talk that corruption is more in Public sector. We observe that in day to day cases of Corruption is increasing in every sector. We should rather think about changing of our mind set and rather ourself to unite both sectors as a holistic view of PPP (Public private partnership) with all good things together.

Public should be privatized because firstly it will decrease the corruption in our country and second is employee in the private sector to provide better condition and reliability comparison to public sector.

Gone are those days when Public sector employees/executives used to relax and work according to their whims and fancies. But today the scenario has changed. Most of the public sectors are competing with pvt sectors in a better way. Even the Executives pay packages are linked to their Performance. The PSU Industry has undergone a sea change after 1991.

I agree that privatization of any sector increases competition thus promotes better customer sanctification and better services, but there are certain sector which can't be privatized. Like can we privatize defense sector or water supply department?If we privatize water supply each competitor will establish its own pipeline and customer will be distributed and definitely price will increase. So lot of infrastructural issues and other problems which will impact us by emptying our pocket. So we can't privatize every sector and so government has to keep certain powers in their hands so as to keeping the inflation in control.
