Answer:
(i)
Some of the services are beyond the capacity of the private sector. Collecting
money from thousands of people who can use the facilities is not easy. Even if
they provide these things, they would charge a high rate for their use.
(ii) Examples are construction of roads,
bridges, railways, harbours, generating electricity, providing irrigation
through dams, etc. Thus government has to undertake such heavy spending and
ensure that these facilities are available for everyone.
(iii) The government must spend on
providing health and education facilities for all, running proper schools and
providing quality education is the duty of the government. India's size of illiterate
population is one of the largest in the world.
(iv) Nearly half of India's children are malnourished
and a quarter of them are critically ill. Government also needs to pay attention
to aspects of human development such as availability of safe drinking water, housing
facilities for the poor and food and nutrition. It is also the duty of the government
to take care of the poorest and the most ignored regions of the country through
increased spending in such areas.
