Defining equity:
The term equity refers to the system of justice and fairness, where there is an even-
handed treatment of all the people. Equity demands fairness in every situation, i.e.
whether it is the distribution of benefits or burdens. In this way, equity ensures that
all the individuals are provided the resources they need to have access to the same
opportunities, as the general population.
Defining equality:
Equality is when everyone is treated in the same way, without giving any effect
to their need and requirements. In finer terms, it is a state of getting the same
quantity or value or status. It is a situation where each and every individual is
granted same rights and responsibilities, irrespective of their individual
differences.

in exactly the same way, ensuring that they all start at
the same place on the track. On the surface, this seems
fair.
