| Summary: | One of the pre-requisites of the
Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) scheme requires
that states form a State Higher Education Council (SHEC).
This represents a fundamental change in Indian higher
education policy, especially in recognition of the role of
the states as the unit of planning, and the intent that
multiple funding streams to states (Central and State) be
aligned with the SHEC planning. However, beyond the RUSA
requirements, the scale and complexity of the Indian higher
education system require that the states play a more active
role in planning and coordinating the system. To carry out
this more active role, states must have effective SHEC. |
