India's journey towards rural development has been marked by a series of strategic efforts by both Central and State Governments. The allocation of a significant budget towards rural programs, agriculture, infrastructure, and social welfare has been a cornerstone of this initiative. Since the 1990s, liberalisation and privatisation have catalysed urban development, yet the rural landscape holds vast potential for growth through private sector involvement. The upcoming session aims to delve into this potential by bringing together stakeholders with varied experiences to discuss the complexities and explore possibilities. The focus will be on enhancing the role of the private sector in rural growth, with an emphasis on fortifying Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models to expedite rural prosperity and alleviate poverty.
