Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) (translation: National Mission for Secondary Education) is a centrally sponsored scheme of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, for the development of secondary education in public schools throughout India. It was launched in March 2009. The implementation of the scheme has started from 2009–2010 to provide conditions for an efficient growth, development and equity for all. The scheme includes a multidimensional research, technical consulting, various implementations and funding support.[1] The principal objectives are to enhance quality of secondary education and increase the total enrollment rate from 52% (as of 2005–2006) to 75% in five years, i.e. from 2009 to 2014.[2] It aims to provide universal education for all children between 15 and 16 years of age.[3] The funding from the central ministry is provided through state governments, which establish separate implementing agencies.[4] The total budget allocated during the XI Five Year Plan (2002-2007) was ₹2,012 billion (US$24 billion).[5]
