Detailed

Conclusion

Public facilities relate to our basic needs, and the Indian Constitution recognizes the right to water, health, education, etc., as being part of the Right to Life. Thus, a major role of the government is to ensure adequate public facilities for everyone.

However, progress in this regard has been far from satisfactory. There is a notable shortage in supply and significant inequalities in distribution. Compared to metropolitan areas and large cities, towns and villages are often under-served, and poorer localities receive less compared to their wealthier counterparts.

Simply handing over the infrastructure and services to private companies is not a viable solution. Any approach must take into account that every citizen has a right to these facilities, which should be provided in a fair and equitable manner.

Key Concepts
