Impact Of Higher Education System In India Through Rusa

The paper surveys the extent to which the higher education system in India has a bearing on the economy. The subject has rightly assumed unprecedented importance in the country and continues to be extensively researched and deliberated. The paradox about the coexistence of economic growth and disparity has also been discussed to the point of redundancy. This research inquiry is pioneering in that it places disparity in the economy as well as the country’s economic performance in comparison with other Asian economies in the framework of shortfalls in the higher education system. The authors argue that in order for higher education to contribute constructively to the economy, the systemic lacunae must be isolated and rectified. The paper examines the concern by delving in to a chronological survey of the parallel evolution of higher education and economic growth in the country since independence from colonial rule. Further, the study takes stock of the present Government initiatives that have been undertaken in this regard and makes inquiries into the scope of their application and assessment of their merit. Rashtriya Uchchatra Shikska Abhiyan (National Higher Education Mission) or RUSA is a holistic centrally sponsored scheme for the development of higher education. Built on the success story of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan , RUSA will be spread over two plan periods, for improving access, equity and quality in the state higher education system.
