Q.Define a Government Organisation (Public Enterprise).

A Government Organisation is distinguished from private forms of business mainly by who owns and controls it, and by the purpose it is run for.

A Government Organisation, also called a Public Enterprise or Public Sector Undertaking, is a business unit that is owned, financed and ultimately controlled by the Central Government, a State Government, or jointly by both, and is answerable through the Legislature/Parliament for its working. Unlike a sole proprietorship, partnership, joint stock company or cooperative society — all privately owned — a Government Organisation is set up mainly to serve a public purpose (essential services, large infrastructure, balanced regional development, strategic self-reliance), with earning a profit treated as a desirable measure of efficiency rather than the sole reason for its existence.

Defining a Government Organisation as simply 'a very large company,' without identifying that the defining feature is Government ownership/control and a public-purpose objective, not size.
