Modern states are know for big projects and extensive public utility services. Among the many great feats of the modern systems of governance is the supply of basic amenities, like water, and electricity. The corporate side and the capitalistic tendencies of the modern age aside, the way people have benefitted from these services, and the way it has made life easier for a common person, is too obvious to be missed. In J&K also the system of governance in place has tried to establish these public services and from time to time updated them. The public distribution system has for decades served the average household in J&K, like other states in India.
