1. Distribution of public facilities such as the right to water, health, education, etc. in our country is not adequate and fair.

2. Major role of government is to ensure adequate public facilities for everyone.

3. But progress in this regard is far from satisfactory.

4. There are inequality and irregularity in the distribution of water supply.

• Compared to the metropolitan and big cities, towns and villages are provided low water supply.
• In comparison to wealthy localities, the poorer localities are under-serviced.
• People living in slums suffer a lot. They are provided with a very low water supply.

Examples

• The posh colonies of Delhi like Anand Niketan have all modern facilities and these facilities are sophisticated.
• Public facilities are lacking in unauthorized colonies.
