Public facilities are those facilities which are not possible for any individual to access at economic cost, so government provides such facilities to the public to ensure quality of life and for development of the country.
Four major facilities given by government are as follows
(i) Basic Education Government provides school and allied educational facilities like playground furnitures of the school etc which are enjoyed by all.
(ii) Basic Health Facilities Government provides hospitals, vaccine programmes to maintain basic quality of life.
(iii) Law and Order Facility/Security Government provides police outposts, police stations for maintaining security of the public and it also protects the interest of its citizens by the state laws.
(iv) Public Distribution System Government opens PDS shops or ration shops through which basic food items like rice grain, wheat, pulses etc. are distributed at subsidised rate to the lower income group or poor people. Functioning of these facilities are dependent on the community awareness and public cooperation.
