Private sector remains discouraged
SO far, we have proved to be very emotional people. We tend to act in haste without examining all the pros and cons of problems and at times we have tended to run with hares and hunt with hounds. There was a period when both private and public sectors were working in close coordination and harmony with each other.
In fact, during this period, public sector entered into joint ventures with the private sector, in order to tempt them into new industrial ventures.
In case of difficulties, the private sector undertakings were taken over by the public sector and after removing the difficulties these were handed back to the private sector. Some, in the private sector, at that time were reported to have avoided payment of taxes, repayment of bank loans, etc.
