India pauses Jal Jeevan Mission funding over corruption and failed projects, enforcing penalties and suspensions.
The Indian government has intensified oversight of the Jal Jeevan Mission, pausing further funding until states address widespread corruption and implementation flaws.
Inspections across nearly 473 villages revealed 26% of large-scale water projects were non-functional due to delays, poor maintenance, and staffing shortages, while single-village schemes performed well.
In response, the Centre has taken disciplinary actions including suspensions, penalties, blacklisting of contractors, contract terminations, and arrests in nine FIRs.
Penalties totaling ₹129.27 crore have been imposed on seven states, with ₹12.95 crore recovered.
As of November 2025, 15.7 crore rural households have received tap water connections, up from 3.23% at launch.
The government emphasizes transparency and on-ground verification as essential to the program’s credibility.
