Conclusion:
• Public facilities are related to our basic needs and the
Indian Constitution has recognised the right to water,
health, education, etc. as being a part of the Right to
Life.
• The major role of the government is to ensure
adequate public facilities for everyone.
• Public facilities provided to everyone give rise to better
living indices and help any country to get recognised at
international level in terms of development.
• The success of any government is also acknowledged
through the facilities and basic needs provided to all
the individuals.
• These facilities finally become the building blocks of
the development of a nation.

1. Why do you think there are so few cases of private
water supply in the world?
Some areas get regular water supply, while many areas get erratic
supply of water. People from the middle class and upper class
buy packaged drinking water or water from tankers.

5. Do you think the distribution of public facilities in our country is adequate
and fair? Give an example of your own to explain.
Answer While there is no doubt that public facilities should be made available
to all, in reality, we see that there is a great shortage of such facilities. The
distribution of public facilities in our country is neither adequate nor fair. For
example, the Delhites avail all public facilities like healthcare and sanitation,
water, electricity, schools, colleges and public transport.
Compared to the metros and large cities, towns and villages are under-
provided. Compared to wealthy localities, the poorer localities are under-
serviced.
