An important step in these initiatives is public–private–partnership, a long term contractual partnership between private and public sector agencies specifically financing, designing, implementing, and operating infrastructure facilities. These partnerships help obtain the twin objectives of high growth and equity on a sustainable basis.

The models highlight global best practices in PPP in these sectors with successful case studies from India and abroad.
