Even while considering new water supply schemes exploring Central aid, the smooth execution of the previously undertaken or pending potable water supply schemes has been given priority in the latest Kerala Budget.
The State Budget has allocated ₹907.10 crore exclusively for strengthening the water supply and sewerage treatment projects in the State.
In the upcoming fiscal, ₹550 crore will be invested as State government’s share for Jal Jeevan Mission, the scheme designed for providing adequate quantity of clean drinking water to all households. It constitutes 25% of the total project cost.
