Presently, none of the existing private colleges is operating under the arrangement provisioned in this scheme.
PPP model in Chhattisgarh is an innovative step for the state, as no such scheme has been implemented in the past. As per a government release, 12 private colleges in the state are being provided with 100% regular grant under the Madhya Pradesh Private Colleges and Institutions (Establishment and Regulation) Act. After the formation of Chhattisgarh state, 50 percent grant is being provided to four private colleges under the Chhattisgarh non-government colleges and institutions (Establishment and Regulation) Act, 2006, post the approval of the cabinet.
