What to Focus On

  • Public enterprises are owned and controlled by the Government.
  • When Government and private sector both own an enterprise, the Government must have at least 51 per cent share.
  • Public enterprises are meant to serve society, not only earn profit.

  • Public enterprises support rapid industrialisation.
  • They help in planned and balanced growth.
  • They create employment and protect jobs.

  • Poor project planning weakens performance.
  • Delays increase cost and reduce efficiency.
  • Excess overhead spending can waste capital.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A public enterprise and a government company are the same thing.

Reserve Bank of India is a government company because it is controlled by the government.

Life Insurance Corporation of India is a government company because it is a large public sector organisation.
