The Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) is a centrally sponsored scheme launched in 2013 that provides strategic funding to eligible *state higher educational institutions*. Its primary focus is on improving access, equity, and quality in state-funded universities and colleges. Improving the overall quality of *private* educational institutions is not an objective of RUSA; they are not direct beneficiaries of its funding.
RUSA is specifically designed to fund and improve *state* higher educational institutions, not private ones.
