EDUCATION MINISTER SEEKS MORE FUNDS UNDER RUSA

Meanwhile, HP education minister Suresh Bhardwaj has requested the central government for liberal allocation of funds under Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA), Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) for the hill state, keeping in view its tough topographical conditions. Bhardwaj met Union HRD minister Prakash Javadekar in this regard. Bhardwaj also urged the Centre to release funds under RUSA for those colleges which were opened in the state by the previous government without making proper budgetary provisions
