Abstract
This research paper investigates the challenges of implementing higher education reforms in rural areas of Rajasthan, focusing on socio-economic barriers that hinder policy effectiveness. It examines the impact of infrastructure limitations, accessibility disparities, and cultural attitudes on rural higher education. Key recommendations include increased investment in infrastructure, targeted awareness programs, and policy adjustments to address the needs of women and marginalized groups. By addressing these issues, Rajasthan can enhance the inclusivity and effectiveness of its higher education policies, ensuring that rural communities benefit from recent reforms.
