Rashtriya Uchhatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) aims to achieve the following in Higher Education System:
(a) Equity
(b) Access
(c) 50% GER
(d) Excellence
Choose the correct option from those given below:
(a), (b) and (d)
Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) is a centrally sponsored scheme launched in 2013 to fund state higher educational institutions. Its guiding aims are the three pillars of Access, Equity and Excellence in higher education.
A fixed target of '50% GER' is not one of RUSA's stated aims — while RUSA seeks to raise the Gross Enrolment Ratio, it does not set 50% GER as its objective (national targets were far lower, around 30-32%). Hence any option including 50% GER is incorrect.
The correct combination is therefore Equity, Access and Excellence.
Correct answer: (a), (b) and (d)
