Should the public sector be privatized?

Hello everybody,

In my opinion our economy, The Mixed is best one, where both private and gov sectors are parallel players. It gives consumers a large vivid options to get served as per his own needs. For eg, in telecom sector, we have large number of options, if you priority is low cost go for BSNL, if your priority is fast services go for rest of networks.

So in my view, public sectors should not be converted in private but private players should be allowed to invest in public sector, What is the problem if on tracks of Indian railway few more trains of Tata and Amabani will run? Let customers decide whether they have to go on government trains or private.

Hi, everybody.

Well we are all concern about the impact that may come after privatisation of the public sector for the economically weak families of our country. But if we change little of our mindset public sector will continue to exist and progress with better pace.

Firstly almost all public sector employees say no matter we work or not, our salaries will be credited at the end of every month. So almost zero output which led to the option to privatise public sector.

Secondly private sectors employed the best, likewise leaving nepotism and money power behind public sector too should employ young, dynamic, creative, and innovative employees.

If these are fulfilled we wouldn't need private sector and poor's would not suffer. So both govt and people have to change first.

Hello guys,

At the time of Independence, our economy was backward & stagnant. At that time there was no infrastructural base & also, there was lack of capital & incentive among private entrepreneurs for privatization. Therefore, direct intervention of the state was considered essential. But later in this sector corruption, case of pilferage & leakage is increasing day by day.

Therefore, since today we have infrastructural base as well as private enterprises who want to invest their capital for privatization. From my point of view privatization is the only way for development & growth of country. Privatization is not only beneficial for rich but as well as for poor, for instance, poor will make efforts for their own development & growth. They will become independent & will do some work for their better future. They will not dependent on government polices or scholarships. It will help them or give a reason for living.

Also privatization will foster development of our country. As we know that in 2015, till our country is backward compare to others.

Thanks for paying attention.

Yes, is good to have private and public sector in any economy of a country, you can kill public for private to take fully place or to kill private for public to take fully place. Talking about P & P, those need any establishment but needs innovation for them to grow for enhancement thing in that particular country.

Core and strategic industries should never be privatized. Research organisation for advancement in technology and modification in every core sector to keep pace with new scenario should be established. Private healthcare facilities who write bad economic stories of its clients should be marginalized by dispersing and opening of public healthcare facilities within every five kilometer radius. Intake of one doctor and three nurses per thousand population should be done.

Moreover, medicine-making industries should be made public higher education should not be made a private product that sells with a price tag. Lastly, the considered disposable income drained by private hospitals and educational institutions can be wiped out by low salary and more employment of its people. In these ways we may maintain the public spirit of the constitution and freedom fighters.

The main failure of the public sector is too many officers in administration which spoils in decision making. Innovative methods of incentive systems linked with out-turn by workers with limited salary is imposed. Too many privileges are given to public servants by the politicians for their publicity.

Now in road transport both private and public transport compete with each other. In that aspect KSRTS and MSRTC are doing well in pare with private operators. BSNL versus other private networks are welcome. The government staff are lethargic and easy going on their duties because of governments third rated policies. , If they come out of it differently public sector will also emerge as tough competitor like BHEL, BEML etc,.

Hello friends,

The need for privatization is the functioning of the organisation and political interference in administration. The government has spoiled the working culture through trade union and privileges to certain people. Now the govt is not able to withdraw it such as maternity and parental leave of 8 months to ladies and 15 days for males. We have to contain the population explosion but the government is promoting the population growth.

The privileges to a certain class of people as a vote bank and they think that they are born to enjoy the benefits and not to work. For example if a driver works in private firm he is sincere and hardworking irrespective of timings. If the same person gets the job in government organisation his full attitude changes of started taking rules in hands and becomes lazy and fat bellied. There are so many examples. Compare road transport, telephones, schools and colleges etc.

But in every department too many private organisations should be allowed. Otherwise the services will only be commercial with poor quality. So healthy competition is a must in every field. Naturally our country will emerge as a super power. So hurry up in privileging with multiple competitors.

Hello,

According to me complete privatization of banks is not the solution. In our country there is a there is a higher degree of income inequality. The rich is getting rich and the poor is getting poor. Its true that private banks can bring economic growth in the banking sector at a faster pace. But we cannot ignore the fact that these private banks operate with the sole motive of profit maximization. Its unlikely that they will cater to the needs of the poor.

Secondly, the private banks are hesitant to invest in infrastructure of the country. This role has been played by the PSU's since its inception. And most of the loans advanced for this purpose turn into NPA's too.

We should obtain a balance. There should not be complete privatization but at the same time the banks should be given sufficient autonomy to operate without much gov interference.

Thank you.

I think privatizing public sectors leads to monopoly and is not good for everyone, for instance the air line in my country is in the hands of the government hands but still citizens are not affording using the air line.

So privatization of public services will really bring even a high rate of poverty and unemployment since private sectors are motivated by profit so they will need highly educated people who can produce productive outputs.

The central govt must transfer the control of CPSE to respective states for better control and appoint IAS officers as finance controllers to better manage and increase profitability, the process of purchasing and marketing must be done directly with supplier and customers and avoid agents to curb corruption. Merging loss making PSU with profit making PSU can also reduce govt burden.
