Finance Minister announced 2.87 lakh crore for that. But not a single rupee
allocated in this budget for that. The Scheme have to get first pass from
cabinet. It is Very likely that, Cabinet will reduce the financial burden of
the Union government for the scheme similar it did for the Jal Jeevan mission
Rural.

said at a public function. “We finally have the in-principle approval to go
ahead with the mission. Now expenditure plans will be drawn and circulated [to
various institutions affiliated to the Ministry] for executing programmes and
we hope to launch by October 31,” he said”
