## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION (Dr. SUBHAS SARKAR)

(a)  &  (b)  :  Education  being  in  the  concurrent  list,  creation  of  new  institutions  is  the responsibility of both Central and State Government. However, recognising the need for central  support  by  strategically  funding  the  State  Higher  Educational  Institutions,  a Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) is being implemented  by  Ministry  of  Education  with  the  aim  of  promoting  access,  equity  and quality.    In  order  to  be  eligible  for  funding  under  RUSA,  States  have  to  fulfil  certain prerequisites,  which  include  the  academic,  administrative  and  governance  reforms. States  are  encouraged  to  undertake  strategic  thinking  and  planning  keeping  future needs of the higher education in mind. The scheme aims to improve the quality of State Universities  and  colleges  and  enhance  their  existing  capacities  so  that  they  become dynamic, demand-driven, quality conscious, efficient and forward looking and responsive to  rapid  economic  and  technological  developments  occurring  at  the  local, State, national and international levels.

(c)  &  (d):  Under  RUSA,  State  Higher  Educational  Institutions  are  supported  under various components such as creation of Universities by way of up-gradation of existing autonomous colleges,  creation  of  Universities  by  conversion  of  colleges  in  a  cluster, Infrastructure Grants to Universities, Infrastructure Grants to Colleges, upgradation of existing degree colleges into Model Degree colleges, etc.  State-wise/Year -wise targets are not fixed under the Scheme. However, State-wise details of number of units and amount approved under the various components of RUSA Scheme are at Annexure-I. State-wise/Year-wise details of the total amount released during the last five years are at Annexure-II .
