Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are a mode of implementing government
irogrammes/schemes in partnership with the private sector. The term private in PPP is often
iimlcrstood to stand for the “private corporate sector” and includes individual farming and other small
scale enterprises also. The objectives of the study are to identify PPP Projects in selected areas and to
i.ssess the institutional arrangements in PPP Projects. The study was planned to identify the existing
I’PP projects in agriculture and allied field in Tamil Nadu. In the selected nine districts of Tamil Nadu,
totally 70 PPP projects were located. A score card was used to select four projects from the 70 projects,
laving scores of first four ranks. Fifty respondents from each project were selected, in consultation
with the public and private partners of the project, thus making a total of 200 subjects. To add
.rcdibility, in addition to the stakeholders, one public and one private partner from each of the four
ux)jcct.s, thus four public and four private partners in total, were included for the study, making the
sample size as 208. Score card was adopted to select four best projects for the study. Public-private
xiiincrships and their successful collaborations have contributed to food security, poverty reduction
