Directions (1-5) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Privatization is basically the process of shifting public sector units in the hands of private owners. Privatization in India mainly started post- independence. Many developed countries such as France, Germany and United Kingdom had already tried hands at it and it had proved to be successful in most cases. There are a number of reasons owing to which the government of a country takes the decision to privatize certain sectors.
Some of these include lowering the burden of the government, coping up with the financial losses, providing better services and enhancing the overall customer experience. While certain countries have benefited from privatization others have failed drastically. India has seen a mixed result. While some industries in India are doing a good job post privatization, others have dipped the quality of services and raised the prices.
There is an on-going debate over whether the government should privatize the public- sector industries or run them on their own. Different people have different views on this and the government has its own take. However, the truth is that privatization has its share of advantages as well as disadvantages.
