?Which word?

Do not confuse privatisation (handing over ownership and control of a public company to private owners) and disinvestment (selling part of the government's shares in a company, which may still remain under government control).

Privatisation (सरकारी कंपनी का स्वामित्व और नियंत्रण निजी हाथों में देना) और disinvestment (किसी कंपनी में सरकार के शेयरों का कुछ हिस्सा बेचना, जिसके बाद भी कंपनी सरकार के नियंत्रण में रह सकती है) में भ्रमित न हों।
