Question map
Which one of the following is not an objective of the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA)?
Explanation
Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme launched in 2013 to provide strategic funding to eligible state higher educational institutions [6]. Its primary objectives include improving the overall quality of existing state institutions by ensuring they conform to prescribed norms and standards [5]. It specifically aims to usher in transformative reforms in the affiliation, academic, and examination systems [5]. Furthermore, RUSA seeks to correct regional imbalances in access to higher education by establishing institutions in unserved and underserved areas [4]. It also focuses on creating an enabling atmosphere for research and innovation within these institutions [4]. However, RUSA is fundamentally designed to support state-level public institutions and government-aided colleges; it does not have an objective to improve the quality of private educational institutions [6].
