Countries all over the world without exception are giving top priority to the PPPs in order to garner the support of the private entrepreneurs' strengths with the concept of good governance and to cope up with the external and internal economic pressures. In that direction, India is no exception and the government has initiated many steps to develop the communications, infrastructural facilities such as highways, hospitals, education, communications, etc. But all these efforts are mainly concentrated to develop the cities at the cost of neglecting the villages. Villages being the vital organs of the Indian society in many ways and means, this article attempts to study how important is the PPP relationship in developing the villages and strengthening the sustainability of developing this large sector in the longer run. - Reproduced.
