Public Private Partnership-: Lessons from Gujarat for Uttar Pradesh

Gujarat has long been known as a leader among Indian states in enabling private business to flourish, while Uttar Pradesh is among those at the bottom of the ladder. This book is intended to capture some lessons from the experience of Gujarat that could be of use to UP as the latter attempts to become more business friendly. This study was done primarily by evaluating the public-private partnership (PPP) projects. Public-private partnership (PPP) provides an opportunity for private-sector participation in financing, designing, construction, operation, and maintenance of public-sector programmes and projects.
