A total number of 15 such Universities have been approved central support under RUSA in the last five years (1 each in Andhra Pradesh, Puducherry and Uttar

Although  no  new  University  has  been  approved  for  the  State  of  Rajasthan  under RUSA, central support amounting to Rs. 611 crore has been approved for 130 units under  various  components  of  RUSA  such  as  Infrastructure  Grants  to  Colleges, Infrastructure Grants to Universities, Equity Initiatives, etc. (d):  Education  being  in  the  Concurrent  List,  creation  of  new  institutions  and enhancing the quality of education are the responsibilities of both Central and State Governments.
