Give a few examples of public sector activities and explain why the government has taken them up.

Public sector activities include provision of water, electricity and some modes of transport. Government has taken up them as if we look the most important needs of human then water and electricity are the basic ones. If these works like providing electricity and water is left to private enterprises, the later might exploit this opportunity and these at rates which the masses cannot afford. So, to fulfill the basic needs of humans including water and electricity the government of our country supplies these things at very low and affordable prices.
