Health and education are the main points of economic growth. Health and educational services are provided by both public and private sector. On one hand, education helps in the production units by skilled and technical knowledge, and on the other hand, health increases the national income by making growth in the pollution free environment, and healthy labour. We also know that a healthy person is more liable to work more efficiently as compared to an unhealthy person. In the same way, a good manager can make better utilization of resources that can help in increasing the national income. Therefore, in the field of health and education, Government should have little control.
Private sector is a profit-based economy. Therefore, the health and education facilities provided by the private sector are costlier and it becomes difficult for most sections of the society to bear such an amount. Therefore, interference of government should be there for the expansion of these services.
Following arguments can be made in this regard :
1. Limitation on nature of monopoly of private sector
2. Prevention on exploitation by private sector.
3. To provide health and education facilities to the socially and economically backward people.
4. To provide free health and education facilities to people living below the poverty line.
5. To prevent various diseases and epidemics.
6. To ensure the availability of balanced and healthy diet.
