 In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs & Planning Shri Rajeev Shukla said though investments in social sectors primarily fall within the domain of the State Governments, some initiatives have been taken in various States to attract private investment in health and education sector. Since the subject is new, various models are being developed to attract private investment in the health and education sectors and it will take some time for the system to evolve. The Central Government has approved a scheme for setting up 2500 Model Schools under PPP mode to supplement the efforts of State Governments.
