Description
Description | The Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) is a centrally-sponsored scheme launched in 2013 by the Union Ministry of Education to provide strategic funding to state-run higher education institutions to improve access, equity, and excellence in the higher education system across India. In West Bengal, only a few of the 205 projects approved under RUSA since 2013 have been completed. Despite central funds being provided, there has been little progress in the last 10 years. The Union government is ready to allocate Rs 544.73 crore for various projects under RUSA in West Bengal, with Rs 383.69 crore already given, but significant progress is still lacking. |
