Explanation

RUSA's reforms centre on greater accountability and autonomy for state higher-education institutions and on improving the quality of education and infrastructure.

Statement 1 pushing accountability and autonomy of state institutions is a core RUSA aim.

Statement 2 improving the quality of education and infrastructure is the other central goal.

Statement 3 stringent regulations to curb commercialisation is not framed as a RUSA objective.

Statement 4 a fixed 50 percent enrolment target and Statement 5 continuous monitoring are not among its stated reform aims here.

RUSA is a centrally sponsored scheme launched in 2013 to fund state universities and colleges.
