REVOLUTIONIZING HIGHER EDUCATION IN INDIA

The Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan is the central government’s contribution to further the promise held by the rich expanse of India’s state universities. The country’s future lies in empowering these campuses with all that it takes to enhance learning, better research and promote innovation.

STAKEHOLDER TESTIMONIALS

Divya Hegde, Research Scholar, Department of Chemistry, Karnatak University, Dharwad.

State: Karnataka

Sci-finder made our research work specific and made us spend quality time for research. Having the world’s largest collection of substances, reactions and patents and journal references helped us to produce novelty in our research work confidently.

Umesh Phakare, M.C.A-II, Dept. of Computer Applications, School of Computational Sciences, Solapur University

State : Maharashtra

RUSA provided funds for electronic podiums equipped in our classrooms and now we are able to deliver seminars through electronic podiums directly in front of whole class and because of that our stage daring and confidence level has increased.

Karnika, M.A. (Pre)

State: Haryana

There is an acute lack of classrooms and many classes are taken by teachers in the open. We have to bear the heat and the cold in the open. At the same time the lack of board too makes it difficult for us to understand lectures. With the new RUSA funded classrooms, we would be given written instructions by teachers and it would make teaching more comprehensible to us. Four additional classrooms which are being constructed would help us greatly and benefit students in a great measure.

Parvez Ahmad, Research Scholar, Department of Botany, Biological Invasion research lab

State: Jammu and Kashmir
