RUSA-PM-USHA

Rastriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS), launched in 2015 aims at policy reforms and providing strategic funding to eligible state higher educational institutions. The funding to states would be made based on 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. RUSA places greater emphasis on the improvement of the quality of teaching-learning processes to produce employable and competitive graduates, post-graduates, and PhDs.
