Profile

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 central funding (in the ratio of 60:40 for general category States, 90:10 for special category states and 100% for union territories) would be norm based and outcome dependent. 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 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 key objectives of RUSA are to improve access, equity and quality in higher education through planned development of higher education at the state level. Objectives include creating new academic institutions, expanding and upgrading the existing ones, developing institutions that are self-reliant in terms of quality education, professionally managed, and characterized by greater inclination towards research and provide students with education that is relevant to them as well the nation as a whole.

Activities

RUSA ACTIVITIES

We have successfully accomplished the following quality and infrastructure up scaling work under RUSA project

Rain Water Harvesting: We have constructed two new rain water harvesting underground reservoir tank to collect the rain water and make it usable for re-use for cleaning and other uses. Also one of the rain water storage is allocated exclusively for science laboratory which can serve the purpose of clean water for lab use and also for cleaning and washing purposes. These would help us in kerbing the water shortage to some extent in the college campus

Smart class room setup: To provide students with innovative and upgraded learning facilities we have setup two smartclass room to make the teaching-learning process more upgraded and interesting.
