Need for Privatisation.
Though the PSUs have contributed heavily to develop the industrial base of the country, they continue, even today, to suffer from a number of shortcomings which are identified below very briefly :-
• A sizable number of PSUs have been incurring and reporting losses on a continual basis. Consequently, a large number of PSUs have already been referred of loss giving units;
• Multiplicity of authorities to whom the PSUs are accountable;
• Delay in implementation of projects leading to cost escalation and other consequences; 10
• Ineffective and widespread inefficiency on management;
• With a view to provide opportunities for more and more unemployed youths, more number of people, than required, were recruited and therefore, many PSUs are over-staffed resulting in lower labour productivity, bad industrial relations, etc.;
• A number of sick companies (40 companies) which were in the private sector was taken over by public sector mainly to protect the employees. These sick units are causing a big drain on the resources of the state; etc.

CONCLUSION
Economic liberalization has increased the responsibility and role of the private sector. At the same time, it has reduced the control of the government on economy affairs. It is expected that the reforms would liberalize the Indian economy enough to create a conducive environment for rapid economic development.

• The process of reforms according to many economists and social scientists is not fast enough to achieve the goals. Jeffrey Sachs, director of Harvard University’s center for international development and a noted economist, pointed out that the reform process in India had a long way to go. He feels that without a focus on the “twin pillars” of social and economic strategies, the future would be bleak for India, especially in the context of competition all around.
25
• The government, however, is reluctant to give up its role of owning and controlling economic activities. At the same time its inability to spend for providing minimum health and education services. It is eager to spend on higher education without spending enough on primary and secondary education. It has failed in providing a corruption free administration, an essential precondition for increasing competitiveness.
Success of the economic reforms depends upon the commitment of all concerned – people, political parties, bureaucracy, and government – to the socio economic progress of the country.
