Rajasthan government has spent Rs 892 crore under Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyhan (RMSA) in the state in last three years, the Vidhan Sabha was told today.
Minister of state for school education, Vasudev Devnani, said this while replying to supplementary questions in the state assembly.
He said enrollment in the state schools has increased with the efforts of the BJP government.
