Raju is right, the government intervention in these sectors is essential due to following reasons:
- Expenditures on education and health, make substantial long-term impact and they cannot be reversed.
- Individual consumers of education and health services do not have complete information about the quality of services and their costs.
- The government has to ensure that private institutions in these sectors adhere to the standards stipulated by the government and charge the correct price.
- In developing economies, a substantial section of society cannot afford to have these services by paying for it. These should be provided to them by the government.
