ABSTRACT: The paper attempts to study the accessibility to higher education in the context of the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) Scheme in India. With an increasing demand for higher education, particularly among marginalized and underrepresented communities, the RUSA scheme stands out as a significant initiative aimed at improving accessibility and equity in higher education. Beginning by overview of higher education in India, the paper sheds light on disparities in access and participation. The paper evaluates the effect of RUSA interventions during its first initial phase (RUSA 1.0) on indicators of accessibility such as enrollment rates, average enrollment per college, college density, and pupil-teacher ratio. To analyze the extent of variation and asymmetry in key indicators related to higher education the statistical measures such as the coefficient of variation and skewness have been applied and to analyze the equality of means across these indicators, the paper used the ANOVA and Welch's F-tests.
