Body · points
• clean water • hot food • education • healthcare • skill development • adequate transportations • access to credit
is of prime importance.
Without access to these, individuals remain in poverty and are unable to fully contribute to the growth of the nation. Eg: Tribals, 'backward' and 'low' castes who still take to occupations such as manual scavenging will benefit and break free from their poverty.
Challenges to quality service delivery in India:-
- Corruption
- Supply chain gaps
- Faulty pricing
- Subsidy taken by the well off.
- Weak institutions
- lack of redressal mechanisms
- Complacent attitudes
- Black marketing & hoarding
