Does those people who work in private industries and IT look down on people who pursue Government Jobs?
I have seen people in both real life and on the internet who are or seem to be working in MNC and IT companies say that their job has more challenge and skill development than the jobs in Government. And when I ask them why would they think like that their answers will be basically like,
1. See any government offices the people who work there have no care in the world.
2. They get all those free perks like a lot of free allowances, pensions, housing…etc.,
3. Government Jobs mostly doesn’t provide any skill development and don’t need any skill to work. (Basically saying they are all lazy jobs)
4. People works there get a lot of free time and they get paid for it.
They just generalize all government workers like someone who gets money for doing nothing. Is this even true that gov. workers are as leisure as they made it out to be.
Quote: “Just because some individuals don’t take their job serious does’t mean that the work itself is useless”. Is’t that the case or am I missing something.

Some do, some don't. Not every person who works in private industry is the same. You do understand that, right? Everyone has their own attitudes. On another subject, is English your first language? If not, you're writing quite well. If it IS your first language, you need to work on it a bit.

Yes. They pay their wages after all.

Government employees have a long history of
incompetence,
doing just a so-so job,
being paid more than the private sector,
nepotism,
receiving many more benefits than the private sector including pensions, 401k, paid vacations, paid sick time, numerous paid holidays, etc.
being wasteful with supplies and purchases,
not caring about wasteful spending because, after all, it comes from tax payers and their pockets are deep.

The biggest difference is the incentives to succeed. Private, you have to work to get noticed, to make more money, to keep your job. Once you're in on a government gig, time is going to dictate your raises, decent job or not. Getting terminated is truly a difficult thing to do, so there is less worry there. If you know how to network, you can suddenly find yourself in plush positions. It has always been take the government job for a little less money but better perks and much more job security, or go into the private for the much greater potential upside and money. It wasn't until under Obama that government positions started to out earn the private side of things, tipped things upside down.
