Free education till PhD in Finland, salary for 2 years to unemployed in Denmark

Free, Free, Free! This voice is heard a lot both during the festive sale and election year. The atmosphere on the promise of free facilities by political parties is so hot right now that the war of words of the parties has reached the Supreme Court. On August 3, a bench headed by CJI NV Ramanna in the Supreme Court has said that a comprehensive panel should be constituted to look into how good the promises of free facilities are and how many are wrong. The panel is yet to be formed, but in the name of distributing 'Revdi', the war of parties is going on. But you will be surprised to know that even though the attack of free facilities is more in India, but in this matter also European countries are far ahead of us.

Subsidies on electricity, water and fuel are the loudest noise in India. Whereas education and treatment are completely free in many countries including Finland, Sweden and Denmark. That is, everything from simple cold and cold to expensive treatment like organ transplant is free. Education is also completely free from nursery to PhD for all without any discrimination. Many European countries also provide financial help in paying house rent. In America also there is a provision of Social Security Allowance in case of job loss.

Actually, the main debate is whether the basic facilities should be given free of cost to the public by the tax itself or according to the vote bank, the tax money should be misused on the free schemes. Know, how other countries provide free facilities and how free facilities in India have become a cause of economic crisis for the states.
