The central funding flows from the Ministry to institutions, through the State Governments. Since RUSA is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, State/UTs contribute their share as per applicable funding pattern.

(c): Under RUSA, Central support is provided for creation of Universities by way of upgradation of existing autonomous colleges and creation of Universities by conversion of colleges in a cluster. Under the scheme, one university each in Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Manipur, Puducherry and Uttar Pradesh; two universities each in Jammu & Kashmir and Jharkhand; three Universities in Odisha and four Universities each in Karnataka and Maharashtra have been approved.
