Answer:
Public
facilities are those provided by the government, instead of by individuals or private
sources. For this reason they may be either highly subsidised or totally free
of cost.
They are important because many persons do not have enough income to be
able to avail facilities provided by the private sector, resulting in
difficulties faced like inadequate healthcare, poor nutrition etc. One public
facility is the Public Distribution System (PDS) which provides fair average
quality of food grains and other essential items to the weaker sections of the
population at subsidised prices.
The other is healthcare in government hospitals and dispensaries,
which is provided to all at subsidised rates.
This includes outpatient as well as hospitalization
facilities.
