Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has decided to audit the utilization of funds of the centrally-sponsored scheme Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA), which provides strategic funding to eligible state higher educational institutions.

The Higher Education Department has formed three teams, which will visit the districts for three days in every month. The teams either can stay in the district concerned for three consecutive days or visit three times in a month. During the visit, the teams will review the status of the RUSA project implementation and audit the utilization of the fund.
