Hi All,

I am back with another round of Group Discussion Contest. The topic for this round is

Government recently decided to divest part of the share of Government companies to get an investment of around Rs.25,000 crore. We also saw the divestment plans on BSNL shares for over Rs.40,000 crore but it is postponed later due to the agitations from the employee unions, but I am sure it will come again at least in the future. So this week's topic is -

"Does privatization good for India's future?"

complete privatization will not be good.
government can take control of the activities of the private companies
If every thing is privatized then reservation system wont be there.It is good for General category people,but what about backward people?...

Radhika it is right that if every thing will get privatized then reservation system wont be there. Its good for general. But not bad for backward people also. Because private jobs only see talent. If backward cast people have more talent then he/she can have that job or if Gen cast person have more talent, then he can get.
As per my point of view

Due to privatization in India most of Government companies is being dependent on private companies and most of his work being on contract base so Govt. Jobs are decreasing due to privatization in Govt. Sector. that is not good for Indian who are looking for Government jobs.
Reservation system will be effected its right but due to decreasing Govt. jobs it will be more difficult to get Govt. job. because in existing quota General category will get less seat so one way its harmful for us.
One advantage will be there due to privatization, today Govt. employees are being lazy and in private sector they can not take rest so there is advantage that laziness will remove.
Government has planned to raise fund of Rs25000 crore but what wil they do with that.
as per Today's date The market capitalization of Reliance Industries is Rs 3 lakh crore.
In USA now government trying to take maximum shares in there hand instead of private company or public for a better adminstartion then why in India disinvestment is so important.

I am not agree with you Santosh sir at this point, i don't think so government jobs will get less. The requirement of jobs will be same but the procedure will get change to get government jobs. And this is good, because private company never do partiality while they are taking new employees in. And the reservation system must be cancel. Only on talent basis job should be available.
If Government is sell some share worth Rs25000 crore or 40000 crore they can get this amount from that company with in next 3 to 4 year if they utilize all the man power properly.
Instead of going for disinvestment or selling shares they should go for the better adminstartion and they should use properly man power ,as per survey all PSU companies NALCO, NTPC, AIR INDIA, BSNL all are profitable company if the profit is less compare to private company the reason is there are so many non productive employees.

They have to utilize them properly
yes Soubhagya sir you are right... Privatization will help Indian government a lot.
Sorry for being late.

"Does privatization good for India's future?"

I don't support privatisation in all fields.It may be good in some fields but bad in some other fields.
For eg: We know that education upto secondary level is free and compulsory in India.But due to private sectors invasion the fee level had reached Everest which caused poor people not able to get quality education.He has still to study in less equipped government schools.Some may then point that is the fault of government school.But this condition occured due to the approval to private parties to enter this field.In earlier days the education in government school was also good.But now it came down due to unhealthy competition.
I wish to share one more incident.That is the usefullness of privatisation

Our BSNL was the only authority in telecom field years ago and it was under Central govt.On that days we have to wait years and years to get a phone connection at our home.I still remember the photo of queue for SIM card of BSNL when it was launched.That is the customers have to suffer more.
But After globalisation many companies came into this field.As a result BSNL has to change their policies.Private companies provided connection at the very next second of application.They acticvated SIM just by a minut and provided it at all shopes including barbar shopes!!!So people have no need to form long queue and no need to wait for years.When people turned to private companies BSNL had also forced to change their policy.Now it is similar to all private companies.The just introduced second pulse is best example in recent days.
So privatisation may be good at some fields , but bad at some other fields.
Abid is right that things are more expensive in private sectors or companies. like DPS school fees is to high 50000 Rs. for admission donation and 3000 Rs. per month for each child so how can poor people get admission in DPS school.

same as in Govt. School still less fees like Rs. 50 per month , there is huge difference.

So existence of both types is required so poor and rich both can be educated.
So to come to a point most of us agree that certain companies or sectors should be privatised and not all. So if proper planning is done then really there can be huge growth in the economy. Santosh is extremely right if there are no Government schools and colleges and all educational institutions are privatised then how would the children of people who cant afford to pay high fees would be able to study.Government can encouraged privatisation but it needs to understand that it should be in a controlled manner.
The privatisation of all sector is not at all good.It has a lot of disadvantages.The commonly experienced is in the educational field since all of us need education.Regarding other fields also some drawbacks exist.For example private hospitals.They are waiting for patients and on getting one robs his full pocket with all types of tests and others.So poor man not able to visit there.

Abid, you were saying that education upto secondary level is free by India Government, but why students are not getting free education.A lot a children are hanging out here and there.

If privatization enters i the some part of government, its mean not the fees of schools will increase, government giving chance to privatization only for improving the service, and 100% government is not going under private. we are only talking about 30% or 20%, and government will handle it.

Santosh sir, private schools like DPS and some others , they all have a very good schooling facility. The main reason of increasing the private school fees is Six pay commission.Now teachers of private school also demands for six pay commission. In this matters government should handle the fees structure. Fees no should be so much hig and not should be so much less.

And we are talking chance of privatization for only improving the services not criterias.

Hey Lubna Why don't you think positive. I know private hospitals just want to fill their pocket. But all are not same. In this manner privatization can work very efficiently. In civil hospitals which are form the side of government, service and medicines are not properly available or not good doctors are available.

So Government should add that privatization to improve the services provide in the Government hospitals. Fees structure should be control by government.
