Jal Jeevan Mission hits funding roadblock in Maharashtra as Centre withdraws support
New Delhi/Mumbai: Maharashtra's ambitious push to provide clean tap water to every rural household under the Jal Jeevan Mission has hit a major financial hurdle. With the Centre withdrawing its grant support for the flagship scheme, the state is now expected to bear the full cost of ongoing and future works—at a time when it is already struggling to clear pending bills worth ₹12,000 crore for completed projects. Thane, India - April 12, 2024 : Women carried water pots on their heads during a protest in Shahpur to protest against the water crisis in Shahpur taluk. Amid the growing water crisis, the number of villages affected by severe water shortages in Shahpur taluk has increased, with several housing projects in Shahpur taluk affected by the water crisis in Thane, in Thane, India, on Friday, April 12 2024. (Photo by Raju Shinde/HT Photo) The Jal Jeevan Mission was launched in 2019 by the central government to provide functional tap water connections to all rural households by 2024. The Centre had approved a total outlay of ₹2.08 lakh crore for the scheme between 2019–20 and 2023–24, with states like Maharashtra receiving 50% of the funding as a central grant. The remainder was to be borne by the state. In Maharashtra, a total of 51,558 rural water supply schemes were approved under the programme. While 25,549 projects have been completed over the past five years, over 50%—or 26,009 schemes—remain unfinished. Officials say that one of the biggest reasons for the delays is the acute shortage of funds. Now, the situation may worsen. In a letter to states and Union territories on June 16, the Jal Shakti ministry said 'central grants-in-aid' towards extending the scheme would be released for 'eligible states only after getting approval from the competent authority.' The ministry is also conducting 'vigorous checks' on ongoing and proposed projects in various states to verify they comply with rules, the people cited above said. The Centre will provide money to the extent of what constitutes 'central liability' as defined under the scheme, which is funded in a 50:50 ratio between the Centre and states, one of the people cited above said. The Centre's letter said the total central outlay for the scheme from 2019-20 to 2023-24 stood at ₹2.08 lakh crore and the Centre had spent ₹1.85 lakh crore, with a balance of ₹22,694 crore for 2024-25. The finance ministry's department of expenditure had cleared the spending of the balance till March 2025 and 'almost the entire available fund was utilised', the letter said. All additional expenditure beyond this limit will have to be borne by states, the Centre said. 'Water being a state subject, states and Union territories may continue the implementation of ongoing works from their own resources,' the letter said. In Maharashtra, state government officials confirmed that the Centre had stopped releasing funds for the flagship scheme since October 2024. The state is now expected to bear the full cost of ongoing and future works, at a time when it is already struggling to clear pending bills worth ₹12,000 crore for completed projects under the scheme. 'Of the 26,009 pending projects, revised cost estimates for 7,098 projects have recently been approved. But without fresh funds, implementation will be severely impacted,' a senior official from the Maharashtra water supply department said. Water Supply Minister Gulabrao Patil informed the Legislative Council on Monday that the Centre has not released any funds to Maharashtra under the Jal Jeevan Mission since October 2024. In a written reply to a question on the progress of the scheme, Patil said, 'The state has not received any funds from the central government since October 2024. To ensure ongoing projects are not stalled, the state government has sanctioned ₹2,483 crore as a special provision.' Milind Bhosale, president of the Maharashtra State Contractors' Association, a representative body for contractors working on various projects in the state, voiced strong concerns. 'If the government couldn't clear our dues when central grants were available, how will it fund these schemes entirely on its own now? This is alarming,' he said. The association has reached out to BJP leader Girish Mahajan, seeking a meeting with chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to press for immediate intervention.

Tamil Nadu CPI(M) urges mass participation in July 9 strike against Centre's anti-labour policies
Chennai: CPI(M) Tamil Nadu state secretary P. Shanmugam has called upon workers and the general public across Tamil Nadu to actively participate in the nationwide general strike scheduled for July 9. The strike has been jointly called by central trade unions and sectoral federations to protest against a range of policies introduced by the BJP-led Centre. In a strongly worded statement, Shanmugam said the central strike aims to force the government to roll back what he described as 'anti-worker' labour reforms. Chief among the demands is the immediate withdrawal of the four labour codes that the Centre passed during its tenure. 'These codes undermine the rights and protections of workers and were brought in without meaningful consultation with trade unions,' he said. The strike also demands the restoration of the Old Pension Scheme, the implementation of minimum wages for all categories of workers, and the scrapping of policies that pave the way for the privatisation of the power sector. Shanmugam particularly criticised the Electricity (Amendment) Bill, alleging that it was designed to hand over control of the power sector to private corporates, which would ultimately hurt both workers and consumers. Other key demands include ensuring 1.5 times the cost of production for agricultural produce, protecting public sector undertakings from disinvestment, increasing budgetary allocation for the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), and implementing strong measures to curb the rising prices of essential commodities. Shanmugam noted that while sector-specific protests have been taking place across the country, the July 9 strike represents a united effort by the entire working class to push back against the government's policy agenda. 'This collective resistance is not just about defending the rights of workers and trade unions. It is also about safeguarding democratic values and resisting corporate-driven governance,' he said. He urged party workers, trade unions, farmers' organisations, and the wider public to come out in large numbers and ensure the success of the strike. 'A resounding message of unity and resistance must be sent to the Centre,' he added.

Only eligible states to get funds to extend Jal Jeevan projects
The Union government has decided to extend the Jal Jeevan Mission till 2028 from 2024 earlier but it will not pay for 'additional liabilities' outside the scope of the flagship drinking-water programme, two people aware of the matter said. S81% of households have been reported as covered under Jal Jeevan Mission so far. (HT Photo) Federal funding for the remainder of the programme, which seeks to connect each of the country's 193.6 million rural households with piped water, will be vetted and only eligible states and projects will receive grants from the Centre, states have been told. Currently, 81% of these households have been reported as covered so far. Costs related to drinking-water projects, which are 'inadmissible' and don't conform to operational guidelines, will not be funded, one of the people said. Additionally, federal funds will not be provided if the source of water for a project, often large lakes and natural reservoirs, is not 'sustainable', the person added. 'The mission envisages source sustainability as a mandatory condition, including recharge and reuse through water conservation, greywater management and rainwater harvesting,' a second person said. In a letter to states and Union territories on June 16, the Jal Shakti ministry said 'central grants-in-aid' towards extending the scheme would be released for 'eligible states only after getting approval from the competent authority.' The ministry is also conducting 'vigorous checks' on ongoing and proposed projects in various states to verify they comply with rules that apply to the programme, the people cited above said. Union Jal Shakti minister CR Patil on June 26 said robust checks were being carried out on complaints of cost escalation in the Jal Jeevan Mission, adding that no wrongdoing will be spared. The Centre will provide money to the extent of what constitutes 'central liability' as defined under the scheme, which is funded in a 50:50 ratio between the Centre and states, one of the people cited above said. States have also been told to avoid bloating expenditures for approved projects and the Centre would not be liable to pay any 'premium', or higher payouts, other than costs approved under tendering. The Centre's letter said the total central outlay for the scheme from 2019-20 to 2023-24 stood at ₹2.08 lakh crore and the Centre had spent ₹1.85 lakh crore, with a balance of ₹22,694 crore for 2024-25. The finance ministry's department of expenditure had cleared the spending of the balance till March 2025 and 'almost entire available fund was utilised', the letter said. All additional expenditure beyond this limit will have to be borne by states, the Centre said. 'Water being a state subject, states and Union territories may continue the implementation of ongoing works from their own resources,' the letter said. The Union Budget 2025-26 allocated ₹67,000 crore for the scheme, a 195% increase over the revised estimate for 2024- 25, but 5% lower than the budget estimate of 2024- 25. In Maharashtra, state government officials confirmed that the Centre had stopped releasing funds for the flagship scheme since October 2024. The state is now expected to bear the full cost of ongoing and future works, at a time when it is already struggling to clear pending bills worth ₹12,000 crore for completed projects under the scheme. 'Of the 26,009 pending projects, revised cost estimates for 7,098 projects have recently been approved. But without fresh funds, implementation will be severely impacted,' a senior official from the Maharashtra water supply department said. The official said that a total of 51,558 rural water supply projects were approved under the scheme in Maharashtra. While 25,549 projects have been completed in the last five years, over 50%—or 26,009 projects—remain unfinished.
