Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) is a public university based primarily in Shah Alam, Malaysia that accepts only Bumiputera . Established in 1956 as RIDA (Rural & Industrial Development Authority) Training Centre (Malay: Dewan Latihan RIDA), it opened to some 50 students with a focus to help the rural Malays. Since that time it has grown into the largest higher education institution in Malaysia by physical infrastructure, staff organisation (academic and non-academic), and student enrolment.
