Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA)

Overview:

Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS), launched in 2013 aims at providing strategic funding to eligible state higher educational institutions. The funding would flow from the central ministry through the state governments/union territories to the State Higher Education Councils before reaching the identified institutions. The funding to states would be made on the basis of a critical appraisal of State Higher Education Plans, which would describe each state’s strategy to address issues of equity, access and excellence in higher education.

Objectives :

 The salient objectives of the scheme are

• Improve the overall quality of state institutions by ensuring conformity to prescribed norms and standards and adopt accreditation as a mandatory quality assurance framework
• Usher transformative reforms in the state higher education system by creating a facilitative institutional structure for planning and monitoring at the state level, promoting autonomy in State Universities and improving governance in institutions
• Ensure reforms in the affiliation, academic and examination systems
• Ensure adequate availability of quality faculty in all higher educational institutions and promote capacity building at all levels of employment
• Create an enabling atmosphere in the higher educational institutions to promote research and innovation
• Expand institutional base by creating additional capacity in existing institutions and establish new institutions, to achieve higher enrollment
• Correct the regional imbalances in terms of access to higher education by setting up institutions in un-served and underserved areas of the country
• Improve equity in higher education by providing adequate opportunities of higher education to SC/STs and socially and educationally backward classes; promote inclusion of women, minorities, and differently abled persons
