CIVICS CHAPTER 9 - Public Facilities CW
CIVICS CHAPTER 9 - Public Facilities CW
2. Why do you think that government must assume the overall responsibility to
provide public facilities even if it gets private companies to do a part of it?
Answer: While there is a no doubt that public facilities should be made available to
all, in reality we see that there is a great shortage of such facilities.
For Example - In Anna Nagar, Chennai lives Mr. Ramagopal who is a rich man. This
area looks lush & green with lawns maintained by a generous spraying of water.
Bungalows here have tap water for major part of the day.
On days, when water supply is inadequate, Mr. Ramagopal calls to a senior official
whom he known is the municipal water board and a water tanker is easily arranged
for his house.
