RUSA proposes a ceiling to the affiliation of colleges, to any university ,at two hundred.

The Rashtriya Uchattar Shiksha Abhiyan [RUSA ] has Proposed a Ceiling of Maximum Number of Colleges to be Affiliated at Two Hundred
The RUSA proposed to put a ceiling of maximum number of colleges to be affiliated to any university at two hundred.
This proposal has been submitted following several State Universities having a large number of colleges affiliated to a single university. The average number of affiliated colleges per university is 300 whereas in many universities This Affiliation has crossed over more then 900 . few examples are given below:
[1]Osmania University has 901 colleges affiliated to it
[2]811 colleges are attached to Pune University.
[3]Rashtrusant Tukadoji Maharaj University Nagpur has 800 colleges with it
[4&5]Rajasthan as well as Mumbai University have 735 and 711 colleges attached to them.
This phenomenon negatively affects the academic quality of the University.
It is imperative that States create more universities so that affiliation does not result in large number of colleges being tied academically to one university.
The one lakh crore rupees scheme when implemented will lead to setting up and upgradation of new colleges and universities. The scheme may also facilitate increased number of students from secondary to higher education.
The Rashtriya Uchchatar Flagship Abhiyan is a new centrally sponsored flagship umbrella scheme aimed at providing strategic funding to State higher and technical institutions.
States will develop comprehensive state higher education plans that utilize an interconnected strategy to address issues of expansion, equity and excellence together.
Central funding will be linked to academic, administrative and financial reforms of state higher education.
