Public-private partnership (PPP) schemes and projects run by the Centre and states will be integrated into the agricultural investment portal, Krishi Nivesh, as part of broader e-governance measures aimed at improving service efficiency and plugging leakages, according to two people familiar with the development.

Krishi Nivesh is an integrated portal to attract, guide, and support investments in agriculture and allied sectors by simplifying access to schemes, data, submission of investment proposals, and tracking of approvals.
