New Delhi, April 1: The central government has released ₹1,560 crore under the Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0 for five states.
Following the operational guidelines issued by Jal Shakti Minister C.R. Patil earlier this month, a total of ₹1,561.53 crore has been allocated to these states. An official provided this information on Tuesday.
According to the statement, Uttar Pradesh received ₹792.93 crore, Chhattisgarh ₹536.53 crore, Madhya Pradesh ₹154.02 crore, Odisha ₹65.31 crore, and Maharashtra ₹12.74 crore, after meeting mandatory compliance conditions for the fiscal year 2025-26.
The statement emphasized that a structured verification system has been implemented to ensure transparency, accountability, and improved service delivery. States must complete this verification before receiving funds.
Moreover, since the funds have been released for approved plans, their timely execution will be closely monitored to ensure adherence to deadlines.
This initiative is supported by a comprehensive review mechanism, where the ministry evaluates financial utilization, technical compliance, and data verification before disbursing funds.
Notably, this approach, being implemented for the first time, introduces a performance-based and compliance-linked mechanism to strengthen accountability and ensure effective outcomes.
On March 10, the Union Cabinet approved Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) 2.0, transitioning the mission’s focus from an infrastructure-centric approach to a service delivery model.
The statement highlighted that this transformation aims to ensure a sustainable supply of potable water through pipelines in rural areas, bolstered by strengthening drinking water administration and an institutional ecosystem. As part of this restructuring, the Cabinet approved an increase in the total outlay to ₹8.69 lakh crore.
