Dr. A. Balu, Mr. P. Rajkumar

Abstract :

 Union Ministry of Human Resource Development has launched its ambitious programme to revamp the higher education sector in the country, Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA). Through RUSA it aims to cover 316 states public universities and 13,024 colleges across the country. During this time, the countries transformed from developing to advanced economies due to strategic planning and a larger vision that correlated economic development to transformation in the education sector, in particular Higher Education and Research, to become globally competitive. Despite many new National Missions/Programs and reforms agenda, by both the central and state governments with private sector intervention, the higher education sector is in a state of complete flux in India. While we have tremendously enhanced capacity, we lag in quality, given inadequate autonomy to our Universities. This paper, newly explains about the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA)/National Higher Education Mission, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) for reforming the State Higher Education System in India and funding approach of this plan.
