Jal Jeevan Mission Faces Funding Delays

In Hooghly, a meeting was held to check how well the Jal Jeevan Mission is doing.

This mission gives tap water to rural homes.

They've given tap connections to over 6.5 lakh homes and helped 2.37 lakh households.

There's a big project to help areas with arsenic in their water, but they need more money from the central government.

They're focusing on giving water to schools and healthcare centers first.

In Maharashtra, the government said they haven't received central funds for the mission since October 2024, which is slowing down the work.

They are using state funds to keep the projects going.
