ABSTRACT In India, there is co-existence of both state and non-state players in the field of education but it lacks pure privatization. However public private participation (PPP) is recommended to mitigate the risk of being the education a profit making entity that’s why non-state players are permitted only in form of NGOs, trusts and societies but PPP in education has not found wide acceptance and has always been a debatable issue. Being the study descriptive in nature, it went through primary data collection, its analysis using descriptive statistics i.e. Mean & Standard deviation and testing its validity with t-values. Study reveals that non-state players that have engaged with the education sector have a key role to play and their contribution is substantial. Thus, it is recommended that non-state players should pool their resources both financial as well as technical to support implementation of the RTE Act.
