The government has earmarked RAM‑G funds for the second phase of the Jal Jeevan Mission, with senior secretaries emphasizing the need for integrated planning.
Newly released RAM‑G resources have been assigned to the Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0, the central government’s flagship programme aimed at providing safe drinking water to rural households across India. The allocation marks the next financial tranche for the mission’s second phase, which seeks to expand coverage and improve service reliability.
Two senior secretaries overseeing the scheme highlighted that the success of the mission hinges on integrated planning across ministries, state agencies and local bodies. They urged that water supply, infrastructure development, and community participation be coordinated through a single framework to avoid duplication and ensure efficient use of funds.
Officials said the integrated approach will streamline project execution, enable better monitoring, and accelerate the delivery of piped water connections to underserved villages. The funding move is expected to reinforce the government’s commitment to achieving universal rural water access by the target year.
