Sometimes, an over-enthusiastic candidate happens to project a false impression by his answer by relying on only one real or an imaginary concept about a subject. This tendency must be checked because an answer should have a reasoning behind it counting on all the aspects of a matter.
Question : Should India go for privatisation as attempts are being made presently ?
Answer : Yes, India should certainly go for privatisation because the public sector, despite its huge infrastructure, has failed to give proper service to people due to corruption, laziness and inefficiency.
Analysis : Here the candidate is trying to give an answer in favour of a party only by relying an the demerits of another system. He advocates another system only because the one is inefficient. Moreover, his reply is not based on all the aspects. Rather he should have replied thus :
“Privatisation of public industries is certainly a step in right direction, because the money realized from disinvestment can be utilised in other important works in which the private sector would be least interested. The main motivation factor for private sector is profit. If it cannot see profit in a venture, it would not invest money. On the other hand, the public sector has social responsibility too. A private company would not like to invest in huge infrastructure in a remote area where it could get hardly any customers. An example could be electricity or telephone infrastructure in a remote village. But the public sector has to cater to all the citizens of India by providing them suitable living conditions even at the cost of suffering losses. India, at present, should take the middle approach. The government should allow the private sector in as many areas as possible, but it should keep in its hands the areas where the welfare of the citizens is expected to be prejudiced against.”
