Write about the following topic: A government’s role is only to provide defence capability and urban infrastructure (roads, water supplies, etc.). All other services (education, health, social security) should be provided by private groups or individuals in the community. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

With the advent of privatization some

holds

Suggestion

hold

a stand that

government

’s primary duty is to defend the country and provide

basic infrastructure

Suggestion

the basic infrastructure

like water, electricity and roads, and private companies or individuals should take responsibilities to cater to secondary needs of the citizens like education, health and transportation, to name a few. I have three reasons to agree with

this

view. The

first

reason, in countries like India, corruption is the burning issue. In

government sector

Suggestion

the government sector

, no one will show interest to do your work unless you offer them something.

For example

, in Indian vehicle driving license issuing department, if you bribe the driving test examiner, he will issue a license at the very moment. Everywhere in

government

departments, the scenario is the same. By giving all

such

secondary responsibilities to private companies or individuals, we ensure ourselves, we can reduce the corruption. The

second

reason, in

government

departments, the efficiency of employees is very low. They will consume a whole day to do a work of mere one and half hours.

This

is the attitude of every

government

official because they know that

this

is the tradition which is set by their superiors. Privatization will eradicate

this

slow working mentality, because they have to earn

money

. They won’t get paid if their work is not completed. The

third

reason, at least we will get

benefits

Suggestion

the benefits

of our paid taxes. We pay some amount of our hard earned

money

to

government

Suggestion

the government

for our welfare.

Instead

of using

this

money

for us, governments spend it for their welfare. To illustrate

this

, according to

recent food bill

Suggestion

the recent food bill

of

Suggestion

in

the Indian parliament, approximately 2lac rupees are spent behind one member. Of course, we have to pay

tax but

Accept comma addition

tax, but

rather to

paying

Suggestion

pay

to

government

we will be paying to private companies. Our

money

will be used for a real public welfare purpose. To sum up, in the

third

world, citizens are living

miserable life

Suggestion

miserable lives

a miserable life

and to

fulfill

put in effect

fulfil

their primary and secondary needs and amenities

government

should spin off their some responsibilities and hand it over to

private sector

Suggestion

the private sector
