1)BharatNet project seeks to connect all of India’s household, especially rural areas by 2020
2)The Project is implemented by Government of India and there is no engagement from private sector as the returns on this investment is touted as dismal and calculations show that the private companies may endure heavy losses if involved.Which of the above statement/s are correct ?
Correct

TRAI notes that rural broadband provision is prone to market failures as well as government failures (as is evident by the slow implementation of National Optical Fibre Network or NOFN), and hence employing a PPP-based model to expand broadband coverage is the only other viable option.
TRAI’s proposal:
A PPP model that aligns private incentives with long-term service delivery in the vein of the Build-Own-OperateTransfer/Build-Operate-Transfer models of implementation be the preferred means of implementation.
The regulator has also suggested that contract period should be of 25 years, which can be further extended in block of 10, 20 or 30 years.
TRAI has also said that the task of rolling out broadband network should be given to a concessionaire selected through reverse bidding. The funding should be done to bridge the loss incurred due to higher operational expenses and lower commercial accruals.Bharat Net Project:-
Bharat Net seeks to connect all of India’s households, particularly in rural areas, through broadband by 2017, forming the backbone of the government’s ambitious Digital India programme.It proposes broadband connectivity to households under village panchayats and even to government institutions at district level.
