Ritu's arguments seem more logical and sensitive. The government intervention in these sectors is essential due to the following reasons:
(i) Expenditures on education and health make substantial long term impact and they cannot be reversed.
(ii) Individual consumers of education and health services do not have complete information about the quality of services and their costs.
(iii) The government has to ensure that private institutions in these sectors adhere to the standards stipulated by the government and charge the correct price.
(iv) 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.
