Explain the concept of public sector and private sector.

Correct Answer

The private sector consists of business organisations owned by individuals or a group of individuals. The various forms of organisation found in this sector include sole proprietorship, partnership, joint Hindu family, cooperative, and company.

The public sector consists of various organisations owned and managed by the government. These organisations may either be partly or wholly owned by the central or state government. They may also be a part of the ministry or come into existence by a Special Act of the Parliament.

Both sectors are viewed as mutually complementary parts of the national sector, contributing to the economic development of the country.
